Full preparation for all parts of the DELE exam

DELE (Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language) is an official international certificate that certifies your level of Spanish proficiency. The exam is administered by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education. The DELE certificate has no expiration date and is recognized worldwide - for study, work, immigration, and citizenship.

Our course helps you prepare for every part of the DELE exam at your chosen level, from A1 to C2. You’ll work through exam tasks, practice completing them within the time limits, and take mock exams. Your teacher will help you understand your mistakes and focus on the areas you find challenging, so you can approach the exam with a clear strategy and greater confidence.

If you’re planning to apply for Spanish citizenship, we offer a CCSE and DELE A2 preparation course to help you get ready for both exams.
