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. Upon successful completion of Intermediate or Advanced courses you can apply for the exam of the DELE Diploma Intermedio B2 or Superior C2. 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).

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.
The DELEs are divided into three categories depending on the language level:

Spain, especially Andalusia, the birthplace of Flamenco, plays a leading role in the international scene.

The Feria de Malaga (August 12 to 21) has ancient roots. It was first celebrated in 1491 to mark the entrance of the city into the territories of the kingdom of Castile. Popularly known as Gran Fiesta del Verano (large party of the summer), it is an unusual mix of sincere religiosity manifested by votive processions, and especially by bullfights - and of paganism, as exemplified by the wonderful flamenco shows. The celebration rages across the city with all kinds of events, eating and drinking.
Malaga's beaches are situated very close to the city with all its shops, bars and restaurants. They extend over 14 kilometers, which is surpassed only by the length of the beaches of places like Marbella and Estepona, and are easy to reach, both by public transport or private vehicle.

Malaga offers a unique combination of sights, museums, restaurants and cultural facilities ...
