My Vancouver tech firm was expanding into Mexico and I was leading the product launch. Zero Spanish going in. I used the Burrard SkyTrain to get to Berlitz three times a week. Twelve weeks later I was presenting our product roadmap in Spanish to our Mexico City partners. The launch went better than anyone expected.

Not at all. We welcome complete beginners (A1) through to advanced speakers (C1+). Your free placement test — done online in about 20 minutes — determines your exact starting level. Whether you've never studied Spanish or want to sharpen professional fluency for Latin American markets, we place you in the right programme from day one.
Both. Our native-fluent instructors cover the full spectrum — from the Spanish of Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Argentina to that of Spain — with real cultural context for each region. Given Vancouver's role as a Pacific gateway to the Americas, many of our business programmes focus on Mexican and South American Spanish. We tailor instruction entirely to your target market and goals.
With our intensive programme (up to 40 hours per week), most students reach working A2 in 3–4 weeks and conversational B1 within 8–10 weeks. With regular sessions (approx. 4 h/week), A2 typically takes 10–12 weeks and B1 around 20–25 weeks. Private one-to-one sessions can cut these timelines significantly. Your advisor will give you a realistic timeline based on your starting level and goals.
Yes — this is one of our most requested programmes in Vancouver. We work with professionals in tech, finance, legal, medical, and consulting who need Spanish for negotiations, client presentations, and project work in Latin American markets. We can also tailor instruction to niche vocabulary for your specific sector. Available in-person at our Melville Street centre, live online, or on-site at your Vancouver office.
100% free and with no commitment. A Berlitz advisor — a real person, not a chatbot — will contact you within 1 business day. In a 20-minute call, they'll discuss your Spanish goals, your current level, your schedule, and your timeline. They'll recommend the right format, pace, and programme. You only enrol if it feels right. No pressure, no upsell.
Possibly. Berlitz Vancouver is a recognised training provider and many employers — particularly those with Latin American operations or Pacific Rim trade activities — include language training in their professional development budgets. Your advisor can help you understand which options apply to your situation and how to approach your employer about covering the cost.
