This program is for elementary and secondary school teachers, and undergraduates, wishing to improve Spanish oral and written proficiency. [Note that Spanish is not considered a ‘teachable subject’ for professional development program (secondary) application.] It is also for those who want to enhance their Spanish language knowledge for cultural, professional or employment purposes, or who desire official certification of Spanish proficiency. However, the certificate in Spanish language is not meant for native Spanish speakers.

Courses are offered during the day and evening. Additionally, a sequential course offering is scheduled, subject to sufficient enrolment, at the Vancouver campus each term.
