Highlights: ESADE Language School was founded more than 40 years ago.
This small school gradually evolved, both in terms of the number of languages taught and the number of students and teachers, becoming what is today the Executive Language Center. One thing that has not changed is the commitment to high quality education, with rigorous standards and a very high level of professionalism. They were the principles upon which this center was founded and continue being our priority in the present.

The Spanish Department was set up 31 years ago, in 1978. Originally created as a small section within the Language School, it grew over time both in range of programmes as well as faculty to become a benchmark for teaching Spanish as a second and foreign language. The broad training base of the Departments teachers has left its mark on the courses they teach. Some have worked on reference books for Spanish teachers, such as the Diccionario de Términos Clave de ELE published by the Cervantes Institutes Virtual Centre, and regularly participate in forums, seminars and conferences on teacher training. The Spanish Business Seminar, one of the training programmes offered since 1995 in collaboration with the Cervantes Institute, is recognised by Spanish teaching professionals for its variety and up-to-date contents, in addition to the experience and quality of its speakers.

ESADE-Executive Language Center is located in Building 3 of ESADE.
