The quality of teaching at GADIR, International School of Spanish, is guaranteed not only by our years of experience but also by the controls of leading Language Teaching organisations and associations in the European Union, such as:
| Cervantes Institute |
Since July 2003 GADIR has formed a part of the Network of Cervantes Institute Accredited Centres. An accredited centre is a teaching institution which the Cervantes Institute has expressly recognised as a centre which offers a high level of quality in all the services it provides, in accordance with the requirements and conditions established by the Cervantes Institute itself.
The student who chooses a Cervantes Institute Accredited Centre in which to study a Spanish course in Spain has the guarantee that he has made the right choice because the centre has been subject to an independent, professional and objective inspection
All the Spanish schools which have joined the Network of Cervantes Institute Accredited Centres meet a long series of legal and academic requirements which are examined every two years by the assessing bodies of the Cervantes Institute. Among other things, the following aspects are analysed:
- Academic activities and teaching quality
- Equipment and facilities
- Administrative organisation
- Publicity

 GADIR is a founding member of the Association of Spanish Schools of Andalusia, whose main aim is to encourage and guarantee the quality of teaching in the associated schools.
All the member schools of AEEA have obtained the Certificate of Quality in the Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language (CEELE), awarded by the University of Alcalá de Henares or the Cervantes Institute Certificate of Accreditation,and all of them are periodically subject to a pedagogical and professional inspection, which guarantees that the teaching offered by AEEA centresis always of the highest quality.
The AEEA represents its member schools in dealings with local, autonomous and national institutions. Therefore, our association maintains a close relationship with the Government of Andalusia, as well as the tourist offices, embassies, consulates, universities and other official centres from all over the world. At the same time, AEEA collaborates with the Chambers of Commerce of various Andalusian capitals which provide students of AEEA centres with access to official commerce exams. Another of AEEA's fundamental objectives is the preparation of academic programs, in constant collaboration and discussion with the Cervantes Institute and other institutions dedicated to the teaching of the Spanish language.
