PROGRAMS AND PRICES: At Logos we have courses for all levels: Beginner, intermediate and advanced. Every student will have a placement test before starting the course to determine how much Spanish he or she already knows, what exact level he or she is on. Then according to this, he or she will be placed in the group that fits his/her level and schedule. If the student has a different level than the other students or particular schedule issues, that would make it impossible to join a given level group, we will be able to set up an individual schedule at the same price as for joining the respective level group. At the end of the course you will receive a diploma that states how many hours of class you received and what level you reached. If you are, or plan to be, a university student, this diploma can be used for credits for your university in many cases. The prices specified on the list below include: Initial placement test. Initial orientation about the country, culture and program. City tour in San José downtown on the first day. All books and materials. A folder with maps, brochures and tourist information.
