The DELE Spanish degree is the gold standard for the recognition of language proficiency in Spanish, as it is the only official and internationally recognised certificate issued directly by the Spanish Ministry of Education through the Instituto Cervantes. In a world where language certification is becoming increasingly important, the DELE stands out for its credibility, prestige and long-lasting validity. Whether you are interested in learning Spanish for study, work or personal development, DELE opens doors and increases the prestige of your CV both in Greece and internationally.
The DELE (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is not just a degree; it is a tool that can change your career. This diploma is available in six levels, from beginner A1 to advanced C2, based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Each level comprehensively assesses the four basic skills: comprehension and production of spoken and written language. Perhaps the most important difference compared to other language certifications is that DELE is valid for life - it does not expire or require renewal or review, which makes it particularly attractive for those who want to invest in their knowledge with stability.
The value of DELE is evident in its numerous practical applications. First of all, it is a prerequisite for enrolment in Spanish-speaking universities. In particular, the B2 and C1 levels are required by many institutions as proof of Spanish language proficiency, ensuring that the student can actively participate in academic life, attend classes, participate in seminars and write papers. In addition to the academic field, the DELE is particularly useful in the labour market. Many companies, both in Greece and abroad, require official proof of language proficiency as a necessary qualification. DELE is recognised by multinational organisations, embassies, public bodies and in the private sector, giving a competitive advantage to those who hold it.
In Greece, DELE is officially recognised by the ASEP and is a qualification for competitions and recruitment, either in the public sector or in other institutions that require language certification. In addition, in cases of immigration or naturalisation applications in Spanish-speaking countries, DELE (usually at B2 or C1 level) may be a necessary document for the process. Thus, this diploma becomes a real passport that opens up paths in an international environment, offering security and credibility to its holder.
The choice of the appropriate DELE level depends on the personal needs and goals of each student. A1 and A2 levels are mainly aimed at beginners, ideal for children or for those who need basic language skills in everyday life. Level B1 is suitable for those who want to deal effectively with everyday situations and understand simple texts and dialogues. The B2 level is the key point for those wishing to study or work in a Spanish-speaking environment, as it ensures the ability to participate in conversations, produce complex written texts and fully understand a variety of topics. The C1 and C2 levels are aimed at those aiming for a high level of proficiency, almost native-like - they are essential for academic or professional environments where communication requires precision and subtlety, such as translating, teaching or working in universities.
Obtaining a DELE Spanish degree requires systematic preparation, but with the right support it becomes a perfectly achievable goal. Familiarity with the exam formats, systematic practice with native teachers and personalised guidance in weak areas are the key "secrets" to success.
