Spanish Courses in Valencia: Prices and Schools (2026)

To start next Monday, join AIL in L'Eixample: €190 a week for 1 to 7 weeks plus a €60 enrolment fee. On a budget, the public EOI costs €90,00 a course, but its 2026-2027 admission windows have closed. Before paying for a visa course, check its Instituto Cervantes accreditation.

Start with AIL Valencia in L’Eixample if you want to be in class next Monday: intensive groups begin every Monday of the year. It costs €190 a week for 1 to 7 weeks, plus a €60 enrolment fee. If money matters more than speed, the public EOI is the cheap route at €90,00 a course, but its 2026-2027 admission windows have closed.

Which school for you?

• Start next Monday: AIL Valencia.
• Cheapest, if you can wait for the next admission window: the EOI network.
• Old town, with a price you can see: Taronja, from €215 for an intensive week.
• Exam preparation: Españolé, where DELE preparation is €310 per week.

EOI: the budget option

The public Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas charge €90,00 a course for levels A2 to C1. An intensive course is €65,00, and a 60-hour oral-practice course with no exams is €45,00. Classes meet twice a week.

The catch is timing. Places go through fixed admission windows, and the 2026-2027 ones are over. If you want to start this month, pick a private school instead and watch the EOI admission page for the next calendar.

AIL Valencia (Ruzafa / Eixample)

AIL suits you when your arrival date is fixed. You get 20 group classes a week with 3 to 10 students, and lessons lean on speaking rather than textbook theory. It is on the Instituto Cervantes list, and full-time students get an acceptance letter for the visa.

The school is on Avenida del Regne de València 15. Intensive classes run Monday to Friday, in the morning or in the afternoon, so you can keep the other half of the day free for work. The office is open Monday to Thursday until 6pm and Friday until 2pm, so ask about start dates or the visa letter before the weekend. Google readers give it 5 out of 5 from 157 reviews.

Staying longer pays off: from 8 weeks the weekly price falls to €160, and from 20 weeks it is €150 with no enrolment fee. A single trial week is the dearest way in.

Españolé (Ciutat Vella)

Españolé is the one to pick if you want exam preparation under the same roof: DELE preparation is €310 per week and SIELE preparation €440. Non-beginners start every Monday, while complete beginners join on set dates in November. Evening activities and excursions make it easy to meet other students.

The Intensive 20 prices carry no unit label, so ask whether €240 is per week before you pay.

Taronja (Ciutat Vella)

Taronja is the old-town school that publishes its price: Intensive is 20 lessons a week from €215, with 5 social activities a week built in. Anyone with some Spanish can start on any Monday. Study material is included up to B1, while B2 and C1 students buy a book for €24. It is also on the Instituto Cervantes list.

University of Valencia, AIP, ELE Aleph and ILE

The University of Valencia Centre d’Idiomes runs intensive courses of 20 hours a week in the mornings. Fees come by email only. AIP lets you choose 13, 20, 25 or 30 lessons a week, and ELE Aleph and ILE publish no prices, so ask for a quote.

Exams and the student visa

If your paperwork needs the CCSE, the University of Valencia holds it on 29 October and 26 November 2026. Registration is €85 and covers up to two sittings. The exam has 25 questions. The CCSE and DELE exam guide has the pass mark and how to book.

For a student visa, the course must be taught in person at an official language school or at a centre accredited by the Instituto Cervantes. AIL, AIP, the University of Valencia centre, Españolé and Taronja are on that list. ELE Aleph and ILE do not appear in the Valencia city entries. Watch the name too: Cervantes Valencia is a private school, not the Instituto Cervantes.
