This is a specific Spanish language course aimed at those who wish to prepare for the Spanish Language DELE exams in Nerja, Spain. Courses are offered throughout the year, however the exams are held on set dates May/August/November each year, so most students book classes in the build up to the exam dates, which can be sat in Malaga, and registered through the Spanish language college.

The Diplomas in Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE) are official qualifications certifying the degree of competence and mastery of Spanish, granted by Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of Spain. The DELE examination provides for all the different variants of the Spanish language. They are all considered as valid to obtain the diploma. The DELE examinations have been designed following the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) of the Council of Europe, which ensures a practical way of establishing a standard, international and objective measurement of the level that should be reached at each teaching stage, and in evaluating results.

The University of Salamanca collaborates with Instituto Cervantes in designing exam papers and in grading the tests leading to the Diplomas in Spanish. The levels of the Diplomas in Spanish are integrated into the CEFR: A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2. The “Diplomas in Spanish as a Foreign Language” were created within the framework of the series of actions aimed at disseminating the Spanish language and raising the profile of Spanish culture abroad.
