DELE exam and SIELE exam preparation

Combine an intensive course with private lessons focused on the DELE EXAM
The DELE Spanish diplomas are official certifications accrediting the degree of competence and mastery of the Spanish language, awarded by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training.
To obtain these certifications, exams are offered from levels A1 to C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The student can decide which one to apply for.
The DELE is a requirement for working or studying in Spain, as many companies and universities ask for it.
Each exam consists of four tests and is done on paper, in an exam centre and on fixed dates that the Cervantes Institute announces annually. It requires a previous registration and a payment of fees that goes from 100 to 200 euros according to the level.
