Inhispania

What Inhispania does

Inhispania, operated by INHISPANIA INTLANCE S.L., is a privately held Spanish language school founded in 2002 and headquartered at Calle Marqués de Valdeiglesias 3 in central Madrid. It delivers in-person and online Spanish-as-a-foreign-language instruction to international adult students, with a course catalog spanning intensive and super-intensive group courses (20–30 classes per week), evening classes, private tutoring, crash courses, long-term visa programs, exam preparation (DELE/SIELE), university access pathways, Erasmus and language-assistant tracks, and tailor-made group programs. Curriculum is aligned to the CEFR framework across 44 sub-levels (A1–C2), with class sizes capped at a maximum of 9 students.

The school's technology surface is limited to a website supporting online course registration, a price calculator, and a free online Spanish level test; no mobile app, API, or developer platform is offered. Ancillary services include student accommodation (shared and single apartments, residences, homestays), airport transfers, and optional travel insurance through Mapfre, CareMed, and Allianz.

Revenue is generated primarily through upfront tuition fees ranging from approximately €165 per week (intensive) to €7,500 for long-term student-visa programs, plus a €55 one-time registration fee for new students and ancillary fees for accommodation and transfers. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through in-person registration at the Madrid school and online booking via the website, supplemented by institutional referral channels (Erasmus, universities, government grant programs in Sweden, Norway, and Germany). Inhispania holds Instituto Cervantes accreditation, FEDELE membership, official SIELE/DELE/CCSE examination centre status, UDIMA ECTS-credit recognition, and acceptance under CSN, Lånekassen, and Bildungsurlaub schemes.

• Instituto Cervantes: Official public institution of the Spanish government promoting Spanish language and culture worldwide, with centres across the globe. While not a direct commercial competitor in Madrid, its accreditation and exam administration give it broad influence over the ELE category Inhispania operates in.
• EF Education First: Global private education company offering language immersion courses in dozens of countries and languages, including Spanish in Spain. A broad incumbent with vastly larger scale, multi-city footprint, and integrated study abroad programming.
