Specialized Programs for Professionals
The Specialized Programs for Professionals are part of our Spanish Immersion Program that offers lessons where you will learn how to effectively communicate with Spanish speaking communities. These classes are composed of 6 hours of instruction per day from Monday through Friday with a total of 30 hours a week.
During the first four hours of instruction, the class focuses on grammar and conversational topics while the other two hours focus on the development of the specific vocabulary that students need to develop for their career. During this time, outings to key attractions in Ensenada can also be included. These outings provide a great learning experience for students to learn more about the language, traditions and culture in Baja California.
Students enrolled in this program will be able to schedule one outing, either on Wednesday or Thursday, but are not limited to participating in the other outings that are taking place during other days of the week with other students. This will allow students to obtain an even richer cultural experience since these outings are to other historical, commercial, gastronomic and touristic sites.
