DELE EXAM PREPARATION COURSE

WAYRA Instituto de Español offers DELE preparation courses that are designed to effectively and successfully prepare students for the DELE exams A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.

DELE "Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera" stands for "Diplomas for Spanish as a Foreign Language" and are the only standardized certificates for the Spanish language. The Cervantes Institute issues the certificate on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports.

 

Consider first your language skills before selecting the DELE course. It is advised to have a higher skill level than the DELE course you are choosing. The objective of the preparation course is not to improve your language level but rather to prepare you to obtain a certificate for your current language level.

When in doubt of your level, take our Online Language Test or the Cervantes Institute Online Test.
