YOUR LEARNING JOURNEY
These modules form the core programme. Where useful, we refine the emphasis, examples and learning activities to reflect your professional context, starting point and objectives.
An initial assessment identifies your current skills against the CEFR A1–C2 reference levels. Agree your next target and the situations you want to handle confidently. OSAM uses around six months per additional level as a planning guide; pace is adapted to your starting point, learning intensity and practice. The modules below are weighted to your needs.
Practise vowels, word stress, sentence melody and selected consonant contrasts. Listening activities progress from short messages to longer exchanges. Recognise regional variation without treating one accent as the only correct model. Clarification and summarising strategies help you establish shared understanding when you encounter unfamiliar vocabulary or a new speaker.
Use verb forms, pronouns and prepositions to express experiences, habits and plans. Compare ser and estar through concrete situations. Depending on your level, develop past narration, conditions and wishes. Connect grammatical choices with the meaning you intend, then test them in brief conversations and practical writing tasks.
Practise appointments, introductions, customer needs and questions about offers or projects. Learn to make requests courteously and directly. Forms of address are explained for the region relevant to you. Role-plays provide repeated application and let you use new vocabulary under realistic conversational conditions with constructive feedback.
Work with emails, short articles and documents relevant to your activities. Produce clear messages, summaries and presentation notes. Practise suitable greetings and well-organised paragraphs. Examples from different contexts show how vocabulary and tone can change, encouraging flexible communication rather than rigid assumptions about how all Spanish speakers interact.
Apply the language you have practised in a connected task from your everyday life or work. Your trainer assesses listening, speaking, reading and writing against the agreed CEFR goals and gives focused feedback. Compare your starting and final assessment, identify progress and plan how to maintain or develop your skills further.

For adults, professionals and teams communicating with Spanish-speaking clients, partners or personal contacts around the world. The programme is available to private individuals and organisations, including company teams. OSAM welcomes learners living or working in Switzerland as well as international participants joining live online.
OSAM is an eduQua-certified continuing education institution. An OSAM certificate documents the learning agreed for your programme; eduQua is a quality label for the institution, not federal recognition of every individual course.
OSAM’s work connects individual professional development with the needs of companies in Switzerland and internationally. Client references and learner reviews below offer a practical view of that work.

Yes. We start with the established programme and refine the emphasis, practical cases and learning support where useful. Adjustments take account of the individual or company’s professional context, existing skills and goals. The agreed programme is confirmed before enrolment; federal examination requirements remain binding where applicable.
For the OSAM certificate, contact us to review your current level, prior experience and objectives. We will confirm the appropriate entry requirements and any recommended preparation.
The language pathway is designed to work towards one additional level in approximately six months, for example A1 to A2 or B1 to B2. We use the official CEFR scale: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. An initial assessment sets the starting point; a final assessment verifies the skills achieved. Progress depends on your starting level, participation and practice between lessons. The certificate records the assessed learning outcomes.
A native-speaking, qualified and experienced trainer teaches you in person or by live video. Both formats always include access to the OSAM platform and course materials. Your timetable and practical exercises are adapted to your context.

OSAM structures language goals around the Council of Europe’s CEFR reference levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. We plan approximately six months to work towards one additional level, for example A1 to A2. This is an OSAM planning guide, not a duration prescribed by the CEFR. Progress depends on your starting point, attendance and practice; the final assessment establishes the skills achieved. Contact us for a quotation.
The format can be agreed as live online, face-to-face or blended learning. Individual lessons and team training can also be discussed. Content, location and scheduling are confirmed in the quotation.
