International Spanish Language Evaluation Service (SIELE)
SIELE certifies knowledge of Spanish and is aimed at young people and adults who are learning Spanish as a foreign, second or even native language.
It was created and is supported by the Instituto Cervantes Instituto Cervantes (IC), the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), the University of Salamanca (USAL) and the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), thus ensuring the dynamic presence of the linguistic diversity of Spanish.
The candidate can either choose to take the whole exam or some of its parts if they wish to certify some skills in the language. Registration and the test are done online and the candidate can choose the date and time of the test.
The results are sent no later than three weeks later and the candidate through the online application can print out his/her certificate or score which are valid for five years.

Similarities and differences between DELE and SIELE
The DELE Spanish Diplomas and the International Spanish Language Evaluation Service (SIELE) are two complementary examination services offered by the Instituto Cervantes in order to meet the needs of those interested. Both qualifications are internationally recognised and the prestige of the institutions that support them is a guarantee of quality and good conduct.
The DELEs are qualifications awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training with indefinite validity dating back to 1989. They offer examinations from A1 to C2 level of the MCER (European Framework of Reference for Languages). Candidates must decide in advance the level in the exam for which they wish to sit the exam.
The results are announced within a period of about three months and candidates can access them through the DELE Spanish diplomas website and, through their personal profile, they can print the official certificate of success. Successful candidates will then receive the official Spanish language diploma issued by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training and printed by the Spanish National Printing House.
The SIELE certifies the level of proficiency in Spanish and is aimed at adolescents and adults who have Spanish as a foreign or second language, or even as their mother tongue. It was created in 2016 with the support of the Instituto Cervantes (IC), the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), the University of Salamanca (USAL) and the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), thus ensuring the dynamic presence of the linguistic diversity of Spanish. The candidate can either choose to take all four modules that make up the whole exam (CL, CA,EIE, EIO) or any of its parts if he/she wishes to certify some skills in the language.
The SIELE exam, and its administration, is entirely electronic. The result is sent after three weeks at the latest and the candidate through the online application can print his/her certificate or score.
