"An unforgettable experience. My Spanish improved dramatically in just a few weeks!"

Siobhan O'Connor, Ireland

"I did the TY Spanish Course. It was so fun and we did activities every day and got to explore the city. We got to meet loads of new people from many different countries. If there was any problem it was sorted straight away. The teachers were so nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend for a friend!"

"This school has an excellent TY program and is open to improving and updating the course. The staff is lovely and the atmosphere is amazing. I've improved a lot in my Spanish and would love to come back again."

"I could not recommend Formex enough for anyone looking for an amazing place to learn Spanish. I was placed in a class group that felt perfectly suited to my level. All of my teachers, Lorenzo, Andrés, Pepe and Julio were so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Both grammar and conversation were balanced perfectly, and the classes were always so fun and engaging. I was amazed by how much I learned in just two weeks. The incredible learning experience at this school is further enriched by the amazing range of exciting and original trips and activities around Málaga."

"I done the Transition Year exchange program and it was undoubtedly the greatest experience ever! Any problem we had, they had it sorted right away. The teachers were great and always were open to changing around things to suit our needs. Everything was organised for us and all we had to do was show up! Would highly recommend."

"I was here for the month of March. I enjoyed my experience at Formex. The teachers were very good. I really liked José and Alba; they made the classes easy to follow and understand. I feel like my Spanish has improved and the trips to different cities were interesting. I enjoyed most of the afternoon activities."

"Best month of my life, I don’t want to go home. I learned so much and it was so much fun. I made so many new friends and made so many memories. José and Alba are the best teachers ever. 1000/10 definitely recommend."

"I had such an amazing time in Formex, all the teachers are so nice especially José and Alba. Only part of this experience I did not enjoy is the trips on Saturdays. I feel they weren’t age appropriate. Other than that I have made so many new friends and memories and I would love to come back one day."

"I came here for a month and it was one of the best months in my life. I would do it again. I had basically no Spanish coming but now I can have a conversation and understand almost everything. The teachers and staff are so kind and understanding. The activities are so fun and the host families are lovely."

"Sophie spent a month with Maestro Mio studying Spanish, experiencing the culture and visiting wonderful places with a group of Irish TY students. It was an amazing experience, the organisation was excellent and communications were so well managed with regular videos and updates. Overall, we would absolutely recommend Formex, and a huge thank you to all involved."

"Elena has completed both the TY course and a further course after finishing 5th year. She thoroughly enjoyed both experiences and learned a great deal from them. She would say that her Spanish has improved significantly because of her time at Formex. Málaga is also a lovely place to spend time. I would recommend sharing information about these programmes with schools, as I am sure many students would be interested"

"Just a little note to say that Sam returned from his trip to Málaga speaking very highly of the course, the academy and the whole experience. He feels that the classes were very helpful and he really enjoyed using his Spanish again. He has returned with a very positive drive heading into an important academic year here in Ireland. Many thanks to you for all the information and management of the trip, and thanks too to the staff and teachers for making it such an enjoyable experience. We will hopefully be in touch again in a couple of years for his younger brother."

"I attended Formex for a number of days in February. As a secondary school teacher of Spanish in Ireland I found the quality of the teaching to be of a very high standard and the staff very accommodating and friendly. Rosie in particular was very informative and knowledgeable in terms of establishing connections with my secondary school for student language exchanges, and this is certainly something I will look to do in the future with the school. She was also very helpful and informative on any questions I had regarding things to do in the city of Málaga."

"The course at Formex was truly excellent and just one week was enough to make a difference of a grade in the Leaving Certificate."
