Pathway

WHAT COULD THIS SUBJECT LEAD TO?
Level 3 Spanish and Scholarship- It is essential to complete Level 2 prior to the Level 3 course.

Spanish could lead to a diverse range of careers e.g. international business, immigration, custom officer, consultant, translator, diplomatic service, tourism, hospitality, and many more. Learning a second language develops skills highly sought after by business, government departments and private enterprises (oral and written communication, team working, interpersonal and intercultural awareness, analytical, strategic and conceptual thinking amongst others). It also increases your awareness of your own language and makes learning further languages easier.
