DELE, SIELE and CCSE.

The DELE Spanish Diplomas are official certificates that attest to the degree of competence and mastery of the Spanish language. They are internationally recognized for life and are awarded by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of Spain.

The exams for levels A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1 consist of four tests: Reading comprehension, Listening comprehension, Written expression and interaction, and Oral expression and interaction. However, for the Expression and Interaction tests at levels B2 and C1, there is a task that requires the comprehension of either an oral or written text.

The C2 level exam consists of three tests, with tasks that integrate different language activities. The duration of the exams increases depending on the level.

The Test on Constitutional and Sociocultural Knowledge of Spain (CCSE Test) is an exam developed by the Instituto Cervantes that evaluates, through various tasks, the knowledge of the Spanish Constitution, as well as the country’s social, historical, and cultural reality.

To pass the test, it is necessary to answer correctly 15 out of 25 questions, meaning that the candidate must correctly answer 60% of the questions.

After this, the application and resolution process follows, and once you receive the response, you must swear allegiance to the King of Spain and the Constitution.

Once this is done, a document will be issued to you, and with that document, you can go to your local police station to obtain your passport and national ID card (DNI).
