El Patio Spanish Language School > How to choose a language school

Check that the school has a syllabus for your course. Normally for beginner or introductory courses you can get away without a textbook, but if you want to really learn the language, a textbook is necessary.
Check the qualifications of the teachers, for example, do they have apropriate teacher-training and experience?
Price generally reflects what you get in a language course. A course fee may seem too good to be true – in the end it probably is.
Check that the course has continuity or pathway to further study if that’s what you’re after.
Is your study in a course supported by features such as flexibility if you can’t make a class, study help, follow-up if you can’t make a class?
Have you received any recommendations from students from a particular school? Or recommendations from a University, the consulate or anyone from the community?

¡Very helpful! Do our online level tests to find which course is best for you or to check how you're going.
