Learn Spanish at a public school in the Community of Madrid
The Community of Madrid’s public adult education centers (CEPA) run a Spanish course for adults from other countries who need to learn Spanish, and several official language schools (EOI) teach Spanish as a foreign language. EOI courses that start in the second term take applications from 15 December 2026 to 12 January 2027.
- Why it matters
- These are the public options for learning Spanish in the region; a CEPA aims at basic language skills, an EOI teaches by level.
- When
- You want to learn Spanish after you arrive in the Madrid region.
