Preparation for the DELE or SIELE exams
There are 2 official Spanish language exams called DELE and SIELE. The Taronja school is an exam centre for both. We offer private lessons in which your teacher prepares you specifically for the exam that best suits your needs. These can be individual lessons or packages of 5 or 10 lessons.
Below you will find an explanation of the differences between the official DELE exam and the official SIELE exam, as well as a comparison table between them.
Exam preparation and exam sitting are two different things
The school does two different things: it prepares students for the official exams in its courses, and it hosts the exams themselves as an accredited centre.
Preparation — a school course
- The recommended set-up: an intensive course as the base plus private lessons focused on the exam format.
- Private lessons are sold individually or in packs (5 or 10 lessons) — prices are listed above on this page.
- The school’s virtual classroom includes self-study practice materials, including DELE-format tasks.
- Courses prepare you for the exam but do not replace it: an official certificate is issued only based on the exam result.
Sitting — the official exam at the school
- Taronja is an accredited Instituto Cervantes centre and an official DELE and SIELE examination centre; the exams take place at the school itself.
- DELE is sat on fixed dates and requires prior registration: we can confirm current dates and registration terms.
- SIELE can be taken at the school all year round on the date you choose — we can confirm available dates and registration terms when you enquire.
- The CCSE exam can also be taken at the school.
- The DELE diploma is issued by the Instituto Cervantes and the SIELE certificate by the SIELE service; the school certificate of attendance is a separate document.
Seat availability on a specific date is not guaranteed. We can confirm current DELE dates, registration deadlines and seat availability when you enquire.
