What is DELE?
The Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE, by its Spanish acronym) is an exam that officially proves a person’s Spanish level.
This test is administered by the Cervantes Institute, and once passed, it is valid indefinitely.
The DELE is valid internationally and is the ideal tool for expanding one’s work and academic reach to other countries.
Why take the DELE exam?
In Spain, some government-related jobs, such as the Ministry of Health, require a DELE level of C1 or C2.
The DELE A2 and CCSE are the two exams that any foreigner must pass to be granted Spanish nationality.
Passing a DELE exam is most likely the principal requirement for joining a university in Spain or Latin America.
