About British Council - Spain

British Council Spain operates a network of teaching centres throughout the country, delivering English teaching to some 30,000 students every year.

In addition to teaching students directly, we operate the British Council's only school, in Madrid, a sizeable exams operation, we offer support in English language learning around the country, and we run strong programmes in arts and education and society.

The majority of our teaching centre students are young learners - either early years, primary or secondary - with a sizeable number of adults.

The Madrid Teaching Centre offers courses to the general public between 8am and 10pm, and there are currently around 100 teachers.

We deliver approximately 46500 class hours per year through onsite classes to students between 5 and 85 years old, plus an additional 9500 class hours through partner organisations, such as schools and kindergartens, and to corporate clients including government ministries, banks and higher educational institutions.

The content of courses varies widely according to students' ages and needs, but most classes tend to focus on non-specialised English.

The centre management team consists of the Academic Manager, Coordinators team and Customer Services (Back office and Front office).

We pride ourselves on the quality of the teaching we deliver in the classroom, and for that we depend on recruiting the best teachers available.

Our teachers are professional and supported by academic systems and continuous professional development.
