The DELE is recognized in 80+ countries and required for Spanish university admissions, immigration, and many careers. Pass it with expert preparation.
The DELE (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is the official Spanish language proficiency certificate, administered and granted by the Instituto Cervantes — the world's leading authority on the Spanish language. It is the Spanish equivalent of TOPIK for Korean, JLPT for Japanese, and DELF/DALF for French.
The DELE spans six levels from A1 to C2, covering every stage from complete beginner to near-native fluency. Once earned, your certificate does not expire.

Six levels aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Your teacher will identify the right level and build a preparation plan around it.

The DELE tests four language skills. A specialist teacher knows the exact format and scoring criteria for each component.
Reading comprehension
Texts with multiple choice questions and fill-in tasks — tests your ability to extract meaning from written Spanish across a range of registers.
Listening
Audio clips in multiple formats followed by multiple choice questions — tests comprehension of natural spoken Spanish.
Written expression
Emails, essays, and formal letters — tests your ability to write clearly and appropriately for different contexts.
Speaking
Interview, presentation, and debate tasks — tests fluency, coherence, and range in spoken Spanish.
