THE TEST

What it consists of


The DELE exams are designed to comprehensively certify your level of Spanish in contexts that are familiar to you, such as personal, public, educational, or professional settings.

The goal? To reflect how you use the language in real-life situations.

Speak Spanish your way: all varieties are welcome

Starting at the B1 level, our comprehension tests reflect the richness and diversity of Spanish, including its main varieties. In the oral exams, don’t worry about your accent or the variety of Spanish you use! All ways of expressing yourself in Spanish are equally valid and welcome.

In addition, these exams can be recorded to ensure both quality and transparency in the process.
