DELE

The DELE Spanish Diploma is an official qualification certifying the degree of competence and mastery of Spanish, granted by Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of Spain and, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. DELE Diplomas are official certificates issued by the Instituto Cervantes in the name of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training which recognize the level of knowledge of the Spanish language.

The DELE Spanish Diploma is internationally recognized by private companies, chambers of commerce, and public and private teaching institutions. In some countries, DELEs have been included by education authorities and education centers within their own assessment programs. They are indicated to facilitate professional promotion and access to education both in Spain and in over one hundred countries where these tests are carried out. Ultimately, they constitute a tool for personal promotion in the academic and professional fields.

The DELE examinations have been designed following the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) of the Council of Europe.

In Italy, the DELE Spanish Diploma is recognized as official qualifications as established by the Decree of the General Director of 12/07/2012 Prot. Nº AOODGAI / 10899 and Ministerial Decree of 7/03 / 2012 Prot. AOOUFGAB0003889 of the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca (Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research)
