Start dates and course schedules

Íbero Spanish School courses are all three weeks long per level and are conducted every week of the year, Monday through Friday.

Students are asked to take a placement exam before beginning their studies at Íbero, and a final exam upon the completion of each 3-week level.

Diplomas indicate the level of the Spanish class in which the student was last enrolled and the dates during which they studied with Íbero.
