What is the DELE?

DELE Spanish Diplomas are official titles certifying degree of competence and mastery of the Spanish language, granted by Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.

The Instituto Cervantes organizes examination sessions all over Spain and the world.

DELE is an official certificate which has a valid international recognition by companies, universities, institutions, etc. and certifies your level of Spanish. Its validity does not expire, so you can use it throughout your professional career.

If you would like to take a Master or a university degree, with this certificate you can access any private or public university. Also, if you are in the process of obtaining the Spanish nationality, one of the requirements you need is the certificate of Level A2 (only for citizens of non-speaking Spanish countries). You will obtain a certificate of the second most spoken language worldwide.

DELE Spanish Diplomas are divided into six levels:

  • Spanish Diploma Level A1 (Breakthrough)
  • Spanish Diploma Level A2 (Waystage)
  • Spanish Diploma Level B1 (Threshold)
  • Spanish Diploma Level B2 (Vantage)
  • Spanish Diploma Level C1 (Effective Operational Proficiency)
  • Spanish Diploma Level C2 (Mastery)

In both the case of the general DELE exams and the school exams, the DELE Spanish Diplomas have official validity, indefinite validity and international recognition.
