GCSE Spanish
Spanish is spoken by at least an estimated 350 million people around the world and a knowledge of the language opens up great employment opportunities. This course is ideal for students who are learning the language from scratch. GCSE Spanish can be taken as part of our Additional Studies programme. The course will be particularly suitable for students with an interest in career pathways in areas such as travel and tourism, business and education.
