Course Information for the DELE Exam

DELE stands for 'Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera' meaning “Spanish as a Foreign Language Diploma”. It is the only official Spanish certificate for non-native Spanish speakers that is 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 want to or are going to work in a Spanish speaking environment. We advise everyone taking a long term Spanish course to take the DELE exam.

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 in Mexico and Spain; until now a very high percentage of our students have succeeded. This does not guarantee that you will successfully pass the official Spanish DELE exam, as this always depends upon various circumstances. However, we do guarantee you the high quality of these courses.

DELE Preparation in Mexico

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