At TANDEM Escuela Internacional, we have been teaching foreign languages for companies since 1982, therefore have over 30 years of experience and success. We have helped many companies to achieve their language goals, by analysing their needs, defining their objectives, and creating comprehensive training programmes with specific steps taken for both employees and executives.

Spanish has now become the second most important language for international communication, and the Spanish language opens doors to dynamic economies on both sides of the Atlantic. The Spanish language is therefore a highly important economic resource.

For directors who need to be prepared to establish relations with Spanish-speaking clients, for managers who need to give presentations and negotiate in Spanish, and also for expatriates and their families.

TANDEM offers a wide and varied range of possibilities in Spain’s capital city. Madrid represents a unique starting point for business; it plays host to a strong business network, various state institutions, and the headquarters of numerous banks, companies, and organisations. It also represents an ideal bridge with Latin America, whilst at the same time being linked with Portugal and North Africa.

A real challenge”. The official exams of the Instituto Cervantes are the most effective and universal way to certify your knowledge of the language. In addition, preparing these exams is a personal and motivating challenge that gives great satisfaction to language students. That’s why we offer the DELE Exam Preparation course as an exciting opportunity for the student to master the Spanish language and become officially certificated.

The D.E.L.E. exams are organised by the Instituto Cervantes in conjunction with FEDELE (Federación Nacional de Escuelas de Español/the National Federation of Schools of Spanish), of which our school of Spanish is a member.

TANDEM is a centre that, since its inception, has formed its identity from a deep interest in Spanish teachers training, innovative methods and the production of language teaching materials.

We have worked and continue to work in these fields, through the individual efforts of our team and also creating language teaching materials through our institutional participation in projects such as:

The Self-training Teacher Project (LINGUA)
The Memory Project (LINGUA)
The Vertex Project (LEONARDO)
The Action Program (LINGUA)

In addition, since 1990 we have provided Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) teacher training as part of the Lingua, Comenius and Grundtvig programs.
At TANDEM there are three equally important methodologies used in the training of Spanish teachers for ELE: these are the communicative approach alongside suggestopedia and intercultural contributions.
