The modules are focused on four main aspects: orienting students in their job search in Spain, providing in-depth teaching on understanding cultural differences, improving presentations and business meetings in Spanish and, lastly, developing negotiating skills.
Designed for small groups –with a minimum of 5 and maximum of 10 students per group–each module can be taken separately, providing greater flexibility and offering lower fees if students initially sign up to take all four modules.
