The series of phases are a validation of competences in Medical Spanish at levels: A2, B1, B2 & C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). 

Each lesson is made up of a study unit and assignment.  The learner is required to go through the study unit and answer all the questions in the assignment. Assignments are then mailed back to CSL where experienced tutors correct and return them with comments.

• The Medical Spanish Beginner Phase (a) lays the foundation for specific communication in the health sector. No prior knowledge of Spanish is required. Participants are able to communicate with Spanish-speaking patients, give advice, treatment and prescriptions based on clinical analysis, using specialised vocabulary and structures in the present and past tenses.
• The Medical Spanish Beginner Phase (b) broadens scope of communication to include exchanges in past, present and future tenses, conditionals, subjunctive, etc. Participants are able to treat Spanish-speaking patients and explain and describe health problems and illnesses.
• The Medical Spanish Intermediate Phase (a) fosters independent research and effective communication using specialised vocabulary and structures. Participants begin to master nuances in grammar, expressions and vocabulary, and increase their level of fluency.
• The Medical Spanish Intermediate Phase (b) increases capacity of participants to conduct independent research and free effective communication using specialised vocabulary and structures. Participants continue to improve mastery of nuances in grammar, expressions and vocabulary, and increase their level of fluency.
• The Medical Spanish Upper Intermediate Phase (a) exposes participants to higher levels of grammar and specialised vocabulary. Participants can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in their field of specialisation.
• The Medical Spanish Upper Intermediate Phase (b) exposes participants to higher levels of grammar and specialised vocabulary. Participants can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in their field of specialisation and interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity.
• The Medical Spanish Advanced Phase (a) exposes participants to higher levels of grammar and specialised vocabulary. Participants engage in more complex activities, such as formal writing, research reporting and speeches.
• The Medical Spanish Advanced Phase (b) exposes participants to higher levels of grammar and specialised vocabulary. Prepares participants for external examinations leading to the attainment of international certification. Participants engage in more complex activities, such as formal writing, research reporting and speeches.

Some of the evaluation components include projects, assignments and oral presentations, which test the four language skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. It is estimated that the participant will conduct 3 – 5 hours of independent study per week. 

On successful completion of each level (Beginner, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced), participants will receive a Certificate of Completion awarded by the CSL. On partial completion of a level (Phase a) participants obtain a Transcript. In order to get a Pass, students must obtain at least 70% of the overall grade.

Certificates of Completion and Transcripts are prerequisites for the next higher level or phase and will be considered as such for a period of one (1) year. After a year has elapsed, students may have to take a placement test to move forward.
