Certificate your Spanish: sign up for the May 2012 DELE (Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language) exams
The best way officially to accredit your knowledge of the Spanish language is to achieve a Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE).
The DELE certificate is the official accreditation of competency in the Spanish language, and is awarded by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.
In order to guarantee that its requirements be standardised, international and objective, the exams’ content is written according to the standards of the European Common Reference Framework (MCER), as set by the Council of Europe.
Please find below some useful information about the exams:
The official dates of the next DELE exam period are the 25th and 26th of May. However, these may vary slightly according to in which country and exam centre you wish to sit the exams; see the DELE webpage for more specific information.
The sign-up period for the exams started on Monday 27th January, and will close on the 20th April.
Exams are available for the following levels:
Spanish Diploma Level A1 (Breakthrough)
Spanish Diploma Level A2 (Waystage)
Spanish Diploma Level B1 (Intermediate)
Spanish Diploma Level B1 (Threshold)
Spanish Diploma Level B2 (Vantage)
Spanish Diploma Level C1 (Effective Operational Efficiency)
