Course overview

This course is for S6 pupils who are still at school.  It is free and open to all S6 school pupils across Scotland.

This course will continue your development and knowledge of Spanish through increased exposure time to the language. This will allow you to acquire greater fluency, flexibility, accuracy and confidence.  Advanced Higher language courses enable you to read, listen, talk and write in a modern language.
