Nature of the Exams
The DELE Spanish diplomas are official degrees accrediting the degree of competence and mastery of the Spanish language, awarded by the Instituto Cervantes in representation of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Sports. They are now also recognized by the French Ministry of Education.

The economic, administrative and academic management of the Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language are carried out by the Instituto Cervantes, as stated in Royal Decrees 1137/2002 of October 31, RD 264/2008 of February 22 and RD 1004 / 2015 of November 6. These reviews follow the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference and the manual for linking examinations to the CEFR, works created by the Council of Europe.

The DELE exams respond to descriptors of the CEFR and the contents are included in the Curriculum Plan of the Instituto Cervantes as well as the Reference Levels for Spanish.

Celas Maya Language School’s DELE Tribunals are officially recognized and accredited by the Instituto Cervantes, holding a designated accreditation code. Our professors, certified by the University of San Carlos of Guatemala, undergo continuous training through the Instituto Cervantes, INGUAT, and Celas Maya. They bring extensive experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. Celas Maya offers DELE Tribunals for all levels, which are proposed by us, endorsed, and approved by the Instituto Cervantes.
