Colorado Free University

"I am going into my final year of law school and will be a student attorney in the immigration clinic. The professors I had last semester were unequivocal about the imporatnce of speaking Spanish in the practice of immigration and asylum law in Colorado. Someone on the Aurora subreddit suggested Colorado Free University after I asked about Spanish classes for adults. I checked with local community colleges but the only language classes they offered were online, and it was important to me to find something in-person. I had a couple of "false starts" boning up on my French during the pandemic, and learning language is by its very nature a communal experience. Today was my last day of the Spanish Intensive 1&2 course with Professor Diego Ceron, and it was some of the best time and money I have spent on education in general - including law school. If you can swing the intensive, I definitely recommend it - I learned more in two weeks of daily classes for a few hours than I did in five years of college French. Professor Ceron is patient, flexible, knowledgable and funny. The course provides two text booklets which the instructor supplemented with fun additions like songs, children's books, television show clips. I did not even know there was a clock in the room because I never looked at it. Can't wait for future classes!"

"I've just finished my third Spanish class with Colorado Free University and it's been great. I've signed up for my fourth already. The two teachers I've had are both amazing, Cecilia Goins and Bill Weller. The prices are much lower than other options for the amount of class time you receive. The classes are very fun and I've learned a lot. I highly recommend."

"Taking several courses over the span of 2 decades at CFU, I can't say enough good things about the experience. CFU has a range of great classes in their catalog that appeals to everyone's interests, great instructors and students alike many on weekends or later in the evenings. Some of my personal favorites include Drawing, Importing and Exporting, Mala Bead Making, and ASL among many others. Currently, looking forward to Speed Reading and Learning Russian. I purchased the membership pass to help with the reduction of costs, and I am not disappointed. My only "beef" with CFU is I would disagree with is the age you have to be at the time of class (17) so my teenager could learn with me for classes that we share a common interest in. Of course I understand it may have something to do with insurance and wish this could be lowered or reviewed on a case by case bases.One ⭐ star subtracted because they are no longer mailing a catalog."

"I have recently completed my Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership & Administration at Colorado Free University. My experience has been nothing less than phenomenal. Both in-person and online classes have given me the background I desire and the information that I will definitely use in the future. The instructors are all seasoned professionals sharing their knowledge and wisdom. Overall, it has been a great experience. I will continue to avail myself of the many classes CFU has to offer."

"I have taken several Spanish classes with Colo Free University and have always had great experiences, their teachers are knowledgeable and explain the lessons clearly. I have taken a class online (Zoom) and it was just as good as being in the classroom and I liked that I could take the class at home. No driving. The prices are reasonable. The staff is helpful and again I can't say enough about their smart teachers."
