Official language exams
in Málaga:
DELE, SIELE, CCSE and Trinity
At Hablandis we don’t just teach languages: we are also an official examination center.
You can certify your Spanish with the DELE or the SIELE, take the CCSE test for Spanish citizenship, or sit an English exam with Trinity College London. All at our school in Rincón de la Victoria, right by the sea.
DELE, the Spanish diploma that never expires
The Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE) are official qualifications that certify your level of Spanish, from A1 to C2. They are awarded by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of Spain’s Ministry of Education and are valid for life: what you certify today stays valid forever, for study, for work or for citizenship.

SIELE, your Spanish level in digital format
The SIELE (International Spanish Language Evaluation Service) is a computer-based exam backed by the Instituto Cervantes, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the University of Salamanca and the University of Buenos Aires. It certifies your level in each part of the test, from A1 to C1, results arrive within a few weeks and the certificate is valid for five years.

CCSE, the test for Spanish citizenship
The Spanish Constitutional and Sociocultural Knowledge test (CCSE) is designed by the Instituto Cervantes and is one of the requirements for applying for Spanish citizenship by residence. If you come from a country where Spanish is not an official language, you will also need to prove a level of A2 or higher with the DELE: you can take both tests with us.

Frequently asked questions about the exams
DELE or SIELE: which one suits me?
The DELE certifies a specific level, from A1 to C2, and never expires. The SIELE is digital, gives your level in each part of the test, from A1 to C1, results arrive sooner and the certificate lasts five years. If you want a qualification for life, choose the DELE; if you need a quick result for an application, the SIELE.
What do I need to apply for Spanish citizenship?
Besides other requirements, you must pass the CCSE test. If you are not from a country where Spanish is an official language, you also need the DELE A2 or a higher level. At Hablandis you can take both.
Where are the exams held?
