The D.E.L.E. course... ...means Diploma for Spanish as a Foreign Language and is the only official certificate for foreign students recognized by the "Insituto Cervantes". The diploma is a real asset for students who would like to study at Spanish Universities or work in a Spanish speaking country. The aim of these courses is to prepare the student to pass the D.E.L.E. exam, which exists in three levels: Inicial, basic or Superior. These courses are very intensive and move rapidly. The exams are sheduled by the government and normally take place in May and November. The price and dates of the exams are published approx. 1 month beforehand and are NOT included in the prices shown in this website as these are only for the course, not for the exam. Approx. 97 % of all students who take the exams, after making a preparation course at one of the schools we have listed on our site, pass it . This course type is recommended for students who will live in a Spanish speaking country or make use of the language at work.
