These personalised DELE exam preparation courses are designed for students who want to achieve success in the official Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE) exams. Through private one-to-one classes, learners receive individualised attention, tailored strategies, and focused practice to build the skills and confidence needed to excel at their chosen exam level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2). Our institution is proud to maintain an outstanding pass rate of 98%, with the vast majority of our students achieving success on their very first attempt. Our teaching staff bring extensive expertise as accredited DELE examiners and possess a long-established record of administering the examination with excellence.

 

The DELE diploma is an internationally recognised certification for Spanish, providing students of all ages with a valuable work and study advancement tool. The DELE Spanish diplomas are official qualifications, recognised around the world, awarded by Spain’s Instituto Cervantes (for more details, click here).

There are 6 levels of the DELE diploma and are integrated into the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for languages), from beginner to mastery:

  • DELE Diploma – Spanish A1 Breakthrough
  • DELE Diploma – Spanish A2 Waystage
  • DELE Diploma – Spanish B1 Threshold
  • DELE Diploma – Spanish B2 Vantage
  • DELE Diploma – Spanish C1 Effective Operational Proficiency
  • DELE Diploma – Spanish C2 Mastery

These courses are designed for students who already possess the required level of Spanish for their chosen DELE examination. If you need further support to develop your language proficiency before commencing exam preparation, we recommend enrolling first in our Spanish Language Courses, which focus on strengthening all four skills. Once you have attained the appropriate level, you will be ready to progress to this specialised DELE preparation programme. 

These tests are particularly important for those students who wish to:
  • Obtain internationally recognised certification of their Spanish proficiency.
  • Access academic opportunities in Spanish-speaking universities and scholarship programs.
  • Meet requirements for residency or citizenship in Spanish-speaking countries.
  • Study in a Spanish-Taught programme in college or university.
  • Strengthen their resume for global careers.
  • Pass the nationality exam required for Spanish citizenship.
  • Work in a Spanish-speaking country.
