Big news for Versa Spanish Academy — we are now officially accredited by the Instituto Cervantes! This is something we’re incredibly proud of, not only because of what it represents, but also because it makes us the only Cervantes-accredited Spanish school in the whole of Asturias. This accreditation is awarded to a select group of schools that meet strict quality standards in teaching, organisation, and student experience. In practical terms, for our students, it means you can trust that everything — from our teachers to our courses and methodology — is designed to help you learn Spanish effectively, in a professional yet friendly and supportive environment.
This recognition also opens up important opportunities for international students. If you’re thinking about coming to Spain to learn Spanish for a few months, being accredited by the Instituto Cervantes is key. It means that our intensive courses meet the official requirements for student visas, and that we can provide the official enrolment documents needed for the visa application process. In other words, you can not only improve your Spanish with us, but also plan a longer stay in Spain with confidence, knowing that you’re studying at a recognised and trusted institution.
And of course, learning Spanish is not just about the classroom — it’s also about where you are. That’s where Gijon really stands out. Our vibrant coastal city offers the perfect balance between city life and nature, with beautiful beaches, amazing food, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Located in the green region of Asturias, it’s an ideal place to immerse yourself in Spanish culture while enjoying a high quality of life. Since opening, we’ve already welcomed students from over 47 different nationalities, creating a diverse and international community where people connect, share experiences, and learn together. And this is just the beginning — we can’t wait to welcome many more students from around the world to Versa!
