DELE stands for Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera, or “Spanish as a Foreign Language Diploma”. It is the only certificate for non-native Spanish speakers that is officially recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. This diploma is of great international value for those who are going to study at a Spanish University and who want to work, or are going to work in a Spanish speaking environment. We advise everyone taking a long term Spanish course to take the DELE examination.

You can follow the DELE preparation courses for the Certificado Inicial (CIE), Diploma intermedio (DIE) and the most advanced Diploma Superior (DSE) at all the don Quijote schools. Until now a very high percentage of our students have succeeded. This does not guarantee that you will successfully pass the official DELE exam, as this always depends upon various circumstances. However, we do guarantee you the high quality of these courses.

You will have a friendly atmosphere

The place and time of the course are fully harmonised with the examination dates established by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. Because of the practical advantages most students take the examination in Spain, although it is also possible to take the examination outside Spain. The examination fees are set each year by the Ministry, Instituto Cervantes and each examination centre. The deadline for enrolment is usually one month before the examination date. Students who wish to enroll for the examination can contact the Spanish Embassy, Consulate, Instituto Cervantes or our offices.
