The DELE, or Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera, is an official certification of Spanish language proficiency. It is awarded by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education. The DELE exams assess reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills across different levels, from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient). These diplomas are recognized worldwide and are valuable for academic, professional, and personal purposes. Many universities and employers accept DELE certifications as proof of Spanish language ability, making it a useful credential for those looking to study or work in Spanish-speaking countries.
