English courses for young learners
The British Council’s Madrid Young Learners’ language centre offers a wide range of classes for young learners from 5 to 18.
There are courses for all levels, designed so that students can progress from beginner right up to Cambridge Proficiency level. At some levels you can prepare for a Cambridge Exam, such as First Certificate, Advanced and Proficiency. All classes feature the British Council’s comprehensive learning support, which includes a well-stocked library and reading circle.
Students can come to class once or twice a week and we have a variety of timetables to fit in with their lives – and yours!
Which course is right for you?
To make sure your course is at the right level for you, you’ll need to take a ‘level test’, which assesses your spoken and written English. The test takes an hour at most. You have to do the test if:
- you’ve not studied with us before or
- you haven’t done any study for at least six months.
If you have passed the Cambridge First (FCE), Advanced (CAE) or Proficiency (CPE) in the last year, you don't need to take the level test, but please bring your certificate when you come to register.
