D.E.L.E. Official Exams Preparation Courses

The DELE course

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 recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Education. 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 Spanish schools in Spain and Latin America. Up to today, 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 enjoy a friendly atmosphere while taking a DELE preparation course

The place and time of the course are fully harmonized with the examination dates established by the Spanish Ministry of Education. Because of practical advantages most students take the DELE exam in Spain, although it is also possible to take the test outside Spain. The examination fees are set each year by the Spanish Ministry, the Instituto Cervantes and each examination center.

The deadline for enrollment is usually one month before the DELE exam date.

Examinations are held 3 times a year: May, August and November.

Students who wish to enroll for the DELE tests can contact the Spanish Embassy, the Spanish Consulate, the Instituto Cervantes or our offices.
