The DELE Preparation Course at Academia Buenos Aires readies students for the official Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE), issued by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of Spain's Ministry of Education. These are internationally recognized qualifications certifying Spanish proficiency across six levels, from A1 (beginner) to C2 (near-native).
Classes are one-on-one and tailored to each student's starting level and target DELE level. A placement evaluation, taken before the course begins, determines the appropriate level and estimates the hours of preparation needed. Instruction covers every component of the exam: oral expression, writing, reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and grammar and vocabulary.
Some instructors are official DELE examiners themselves, offering direct insight into exam expectations and scoring criteria. As an accredited DELE test center, Academia Buenos Aires allows students to both prepare for and sit the exam on-site, with test dates offered several times a year. Preparation is available year-round, regardless of exam scheduling.
