Successful completion of the superior level course awards, you pass the exam of the internationally recognized "Diploma Superior de Español como Lengua Extranjera" (D.E.L.E.: Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language).  DELE : The Diplomas in Spanish as a Foreign Language (Dele) are the only officially accredited qualifications issued by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Ministry for Education, Social Policies and Sport of the Government of Spain that are administered internationally. They are recognized worldwide by private companies, chambers of commerce and public and private educational systems. It is important to note at this point that their use is mainly related to educational and professional contexts. Exams are administered nowadays in six levels, according to the degree of linguistic competence and the Common European Framework of Reference. This internationally recognised framework describes language ability in a scale of levels which ranges from A1 for beginners to C2 for those who have mastered a language. The exam is offered at three levels; inicial, básico and superior. To obtain the 'inicial' diploma, students require at least a pre-intermediate level, for the 'Intermedio' diploma, an intermediate level and for the 'superior' an advanced or superior level to begin the course.

The Diplomas in Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE) are official qualifications issued by the Ministry for Education of Spain and, on his behalf, by the Instituto Cervantes. The I.C. will send those candidates who have passed the tests the relevant accreditation documents through the examination centres where they took the tests.

The Spanish Royal Mint (Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre - Real Casa de la Moneda) collaborates with the Instituto Cervantes in the production of the Diplomas in Spanish.

• Dele Diploma de Español A2
  

  This qualification attests to sufficient linguistic ability for understanding a basic range of the commonly simple and immediate relevance of expressions used in the Spanish-speaking world (basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment).
