The DELE Examinations
Datoer og Priser 2008

DELE (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is the pre-eminent set of examinations of general Spanish for overseas students.

The Examinations are organised by the Instituto Cervantes and are officially recognised by the Spanish and other governments. The DELE Examination is offered at three levels: Inicial, Intermedio and Superior.

DELE Preparation Courses

We offer preparation courses for the Inicial and Intermedio. The specific preparation for the examinations is offered as a 4-week unit immediately prior to the examinations. We also offer various combinations of the Intensive Course with the DELE preparation course to create longer-stay alternatives. The entry levels required to begin these courses are shown below.

The Superior requires several extra months living in Spain after completing Mastery Level (old E2).We can provide individual tuition.

Examination Enrolment

The DELE examinations can only be taken at official examination centres designated by the Instituto Cervantes. We will help you to enrol for the examination but you must remember that this is your personal responsibility and the deadline is usually 4 weeks before the Examination.

Please note that the exam dates may fall in the week after our 4-week preparation course and if you wish to take the exam in Spain you would need to take this into account.
