Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language
DELE (Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language) is the official accreditation of the degree of fluency of the Spanish Language, issued and recognised by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of Spain.
The Instituto Cervantes is the institution in charge of organising the exams, while the University of Salamanca is in charge of the preparation, correction and final evaluation of all the tests.

The DELEs are divided into three levels depending on the language level:
- Diploma de Español (Nivel Inicial - B1)
Intermediate-mid/threshold level
This accredits sufficient knowledge of the language to allow control in situations which require an elementary use of the language.

High-intermediate level
This accredits the necessary knowledge of the language to allow communication in everyday situations which do not require specialized terms.
- Diploma de Español (Nivel Superior - C2)
Superior level
This accredits an advanced knowledge of the language allowing communicaton in all situations requiring advanced use of the language and a knowledge of cultural background.
