Some of the evaluation components include projects, assignments and oral presentations, which test the four language skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. To qualify for the final assessment and capstone project, you must attend at least 80% of your 1-to-1 sessions. In order to get a Pass, students must obtain at least 70% of the overall grade.
On successful completion of levels (B1, B2, C1 & C2), you’ll earn the Certificate of Completion awarded by the CSL, valid for one year. After that, a placement test may be required to continue.
Certificates of Completion are prerequisites for the next higher level 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.
A gap year is a valuable period usually taken after completing secondary school and before beginning university or entering full-time work. It gives you the chance to grow, reflect, and explore personal interests, while gaining new experiences, developing practical skills, and discovering what truly matters to you.
This programme is a transformative one‑to‑one private learning experience that combines the flexibility of online study with the excitement of living abroad. Designed for those who wish to dedicate time to mastering a language whilst exploring the world, the programme offers you a clear pathway from foundation to fluency.
Your journey begins with personalised online classes, where expert teachers, tutors and linguistics tailor classes to your level and goals. This stage helps you build confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing, whilst introducing cultural insights that prepare you for real‑world interactions. Once you have completed the online foundation, you will move on to the immersion phase abroad. In Spain, you will live and study whilst practising your language skills daily in authentic settings such as cafés, markets and cultural events. You may choose between a homestay with a local family for deep cultural integration, or student housing if you prefer greater independence.
Throughout the programme, you will benefit from continuous support, structured learning and cultural activities that enrich your understanding of the language and its context. By the end of your gap year, you will have achieved advanced fluency, intercultural competence and personal growth that extends far beyond academics. This programme is ideal if you are preparing for university, seeking international experience as a young professional, or simply ready to combine language learning with adventure abroad.
