Valencia is the ideal place to study Spanish due to its privileged location on the
Mediterranean coast that ensures you the perfect climate all year round. Thanks
to its kind inhabitants, you will immediately feel at home, and moreover about the
Spanish accent spoken around this area.
After hosting the 32nd edition of the America’s Cup Regatta, Valencia has be-
come one of the principal tourist destinations of Europe and a cosmopolitan
metropolis where one can enjoy a great deal of entertainment and culture. The
fast cars of Formula One have also sped through its streets in a unique circuit
linking the sea and its port area to the emblematic City of Arts and Sciences, an
architectural and cultural symbol of Valencia.

Community. It is situated in the centre of the Spanish Mediterranean coast oppo-

Arts. The most outstanding artistic heritage are found in the districts of Seu and

mercial life of the city’s inhabitants. Accordingly,
its two most emblematic buildings are used for
trading purposes. The Gothic building of La

part in, to support the course offered by the school and to create a happy and

19. A student may postpone his/her start-
ing date by notifying VALENCIA LAN-
GUAGE COLLEGE with a minimum of 7
days before the course starts. All fees
will be transferred to a later starting
date.
In no case will money be refunded if a
student arrives after the beginning of
the course, or misses class days, under
his/her responsibility. If the student can-
not assist one day to his/her class, he
will not reclaim the school the refund
of the class, there’s no possibility to
recover it.
Valencia Language College will not
accept any responsibility for such oc-
currences.
Students should check if their home
country has any kind of medical agree-
ment with the Spanish Social Security.
European Community students and
Suisse students should obtain the TSE
(Sanitary European card). This is an
individual card to obtain assistance
during a temporal period in any city of
should have an international health
insurance policy valid for Spain.
This clause applies to all the courses in
general:
Maximum number of students per class
is 10, minimum is 3. If the number of stu-
dents per class is less than 3, the school
has the right to reduce the number of
class lessons to half the total (because
this is basically like private lessons).
If the student does not want to accept
this agreement, he/she will only have the
right to be refunded the corresponding
amount of the reduced lessons.
Examples of course reductions:
INTENSIVE COURSE
The INTENSIVE Course consists of 20
lessons of 50 minutes per week. The
reduction of 20 weekly lessons of
intensive course, of 50 minutes each
(in total 1.000 minutes), would result
in half the total: 500 weekly minutes,
divided in two lessons of 50 minutes
per day.
D.E.L.E. COURSE
The D.E.L.E course consists of 25 les-
sons per week focused on the D.E.L.E.
exam.
The reduction of the 25 weekly spe-
each (in total 1250 minutes), would
result in half the total: 625 minutes, di-
vided in 12,5 lessons per week. That
is 2,5 lessons of 50 minutes per day.
SUPERINTENSIVE COURSE
The SUPERINTENSIVE course consists
of 20 lessons of intensive course per
week + 10 weekly lessons focused
on conversation and pronuncia-
tion. The reduction of the 10 weekly
pronunciation, of 50 minutes each (in
total 500 minutes), would result in half
the total: 250 minutes, divided in 1
lesson of 50 minutes per day.
There will be no lessons on public
holidays.
You can check dates on this manual.
The lessons missed out due to a
public holiday will be made up within
