Course description

The DELE, Spanish acronym for Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language, is the sole standardized accreditation system for Spanish as a foreign language students accepted in over 100 different countries around the world. This certification is granted by The Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport through the Instituto Cervantes. A DELE diploma provides the beholder with an accredited level of competence and mastery of Spanish.

We are perhaps the only language center in Mexico with official accreditation for DELE testing from, The Ministry for Education of Spain and The Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language from The Secretary of Education of Mexico.

We offer two types of courses that will prepare you for the DELE exam:

1. Our group preparation course is a 4-week program which begins one month from the examination date with a minimum of 4 participants. However, if you can put together a group of minimum four people, all taking the same level of exam, we can set up a group preparation course for you to begin on any Monday.

2. If you are on a tight schedule and can only attend certain hours per day or if there are only certain aspects of the exam you would like to prepare for, then a private preparation program is best for you. This will allow you to take from as little as 1 hour up to as many hours per day as you wish as well as prepare for the entire exam or only focus on certain sections you may be concerned with. A private program may begin any day of the week.

"My experience was exciting and allowed me to meet many new people and experience a new culture."

Jacobi Towne, student from USA

I enjoyed the classes they were they were thorough and my favorite part was the mid week trips we got to take on Wednesdays. My teacher was very professional and good and explaining vocabulary and grammar. The school is centrally located in Guadalajara surrounded by museums plazas and restaurants, there is always something near to do. The best part of the trip for me was the family I stayed with they made me feel very welcome in their home and I can't praise them highly enough.

"My Experiences at IMAC"

Richard Gore, student from USA

IMAC is a very professional organization with qualified teachers. It's a large school with many classrooms. It's very well located in the center of Gualadajara. I only took private lessons. 2.5 hours a day for four days. We could not arrive on Monday, when group classes start. My teacher was good, but 2.5 hours one-on-one was mentally draining for me. I would recommend group classes if possible because the pressure to speak only Spanish for so long is less and there is more time to absorb the lessons. We did not participate in activities. We stayed nearby at the excellent Portobello hotel, which is not expensive by US or European standards.
