Certifications, accreditations and collaborations

Spanish Institute for Global Education is a center accredited by the Cervantes Institute and this is how it appears in its documents.

Spanish Institute for Global Education has obtained accreditation from the Instituto Cervantes, which means that it meets the conditions established by the Instituto Cervantes Accreditation System, the only international accreditation exclusively focused on teaching Spanish as a foreign language.”

Being a center accredited by the Cervantes Institute is a quality guarantee of our Spanish Institute school as a center for teaching Spanish and also integrates us within the Network of Associated Centers.

The Cervantes Institute is a public institution, created in 1991, to promote and disseminate the teaching of the Spanish language and culture. There are 88 official centers distributed throughout the world in 45 countries. It has two offices in Spain, in Madrid and in Alcalá de Henares.

We copy here how the Instituto Cervantes describes a center integrated within its Associated Centers Network as meeting quality requirements in the teaching of Spanish:

• Meets the legal requirements to perform teaching.
• It has a teaching plan to ensure the proper progress of student learning.
• It has a team of qualified teachers.
• Participates in teacher training programs of the Cervantes Institute that the Cervantes Institute offers annually to accredited centers.
• It follows a methodology adapted to the needs of the students.
• Conducts program and course evaluations.
• It promotes the participation of its students in official Spanish certification tests, whether these are carried out in the center itself or take place in surrounding examination centers.
• It guides its students about their progress in learning Spanish.
• It has equipped classrooms and adequate resources for teaching.
• It has active procedures to collect the opinion of its users.
• Handles complaints and claims from students.
• It offers complete and detailed information about the courses and the services it offers.
• It makes a transparent and truthful dissemination of its offer.

The Cervantes Institute sets the indicators that guarantee quality and carries out periodic reviews of the accredited centers, so as to promote continuous improvement in all of them.

In the centers accredited by the Cervantes Institute, the learning of Spanish and the training of Spanish teachers are thus endorsed as recognized quality teaching. Our school has a training course for Spanish teachers that is offered every month, we are proud to be able to certify it as an accredited center by an official body such as the Cervantes Institute.
