A minimum of one week of intensive language courses in Valencia is required for those with a high-intermediate level of Spanish (Level B1 in the European Framework of Reference). If you have lower skills, you must extend the Language Courses in Valencia for the necessary period. Please consider a minimum of eight weeks to acquire an intermediate level of Spanish if you are a complete beginner (preferably 10 weeks). And remember, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING until you know the company where you will be doing your internship. This is our way of assuring that you have decided upon the most convenient internship.
