Cervantes Escuela Internacional Reviews 2

We booked a summer course at Enforex Barcelona through Cervantes, trusting their expertise and expecting a reliable, safe program for our child. Unfortunately, that trust was misplaced.

When serious issues arose at the school – including lack of communication, disorganization, and safety concerns – we tried contacting Cervantes for support. They responded in an extremely unprofessional way, saying that by contract they were not liable and that we should deal directly with the school. When we asked about compensation, they literally laughed.

As an agency, Cervantes acted more like a passive reseller than a responsible intermediary. They were absent when it mattered most, and showed no empathy, accountability, or willingness to help once problems started.

I would strongly discourage other families from booking through Cervantes, especially when it comes to programs involving minors abroad. If things go wrong, you’re completely on your own.

The online "course" for teachers is, in my opinion, heavily overpriced and a waste of time. It's not really a course. The student receives a series of exercises and brief cookie cutter feedback once the exercises are completed and marked.

This method might work if you teach a language, but I think it's not appropriate if you are teaching somebody with no previous experience how to teach. I have two masters degrees, speak 3 languages and I never felt so lost in a "course".

Despite being an "international" school, the start date and deadlines to delivery the assignments are in Madrid time. This is not specified anywhere, except in the terms and conditions, the small print document that nobody ever opens and reads just before making a payment. When I sat Monday to start the course, I found out it had already started Sunday midnight my time and I was already late to deliver the first assignment!
