Grado Medio entrance exam
in Madrid
If you don’t have your ESO (secondary school, ages 12–16) certificate, the entrance exam is the direct route into an intermediate vocational training (Grado Medio) course. It is organised into three areas and can be prepared in a few months if the plan is right.

Specialists in entrance exams.
An entrance exam doesn’t measure what you remember from secondary school: it measures whether you’ve mastered specific content that comes up session after session. At mundoestudiante we work on exactly that content, one-to-one and from wherever you’re starting.
Lessons for the Grado Medio entrance exam
The exam is divided into the science and technology area, the communication area and the social area. We prepare each one with our own materials and official past exam papers, so you go into the exam recognising the format and knowing how to manage your time.

Extended, flexible timetable
We adjust frequency and intensity to the exam calendar, with intensive sessions in the final weeks.
04
Specialist teachers
Teachers trained in the method and in each subject of the exam, not students giving the odd class.
Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask us.
Who can sit the Grado Medio entrance exam?
The age and qualification requirements are set by each year’s official call. In the first session we review your specific case — age, previous studies and deadlines — and tell you whether you meet them and what documents you need.
How long does it take to prepare for the Grado Medio entrance exam?
It depends on your starting point and the hours you can put in. After the initial assessment we give you a realistic estimate of the weeks and sessions per week you’ll need to reach the exam session with time to spare.
What are the classes like?
We apply the Barbeito Method: no lectures, no whiteboards. A teacher works directly with you, pinpoints where the real difficulty lies and builds from there, with our own materials and official past papers.
Can I combine it with a job?
Yes. It’s the most common situation for this kind of preparation. We adjust the frequency and timing of the sessions to your working day, and step things up in the weeks before the exam.
Do you work with past papers?
Yes. They’re the best guide to what gets asked and how it’s marked. We do timed mock exams and mark them using the official criteria so there are no surprises on exam day.
Do you offer classes in person and online?
We have 13 centres in Madrid — Goya, Quevedo, Majadahonda, Pozuelo, Alcobendas, Alcalá de Henares, Alcorcón, Torrejón de Ardoz and more — and our own online platform for anyone who prefers to study from home.
What makes mundoestudiante different from other tuition centres in Madrid?
We apply the Barbeito Method, with more than 45 years of history, which allows us to maintain a 93% pass rate and an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 based on more than 850 genuine reviews.
Can I ask for information with no commitment?
Yes. We offer a no-commitment initial assessment session. You can email us at info@mundoestudiante.com or call us on +34 911 79 60 15.
