Internationally recognised exams...
The use of the Spanish language is growing and it is becoming increasingly important to have an internationally recognised diploma. Whether you work or are a student, the value of speaking the Spanish language cannot be underestimated. We have developed these courses to prepare students to take the Cervantes Institute DELE exams. There are three exam sessions per year: in May, August and November.
