Gran Canaria is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain, offering visitors a wide range of attractions including beaches, cultural sites, and delicious cuisine. However, for those who are interested in learning Spanish, Gran Canaria also offers the opportunity to take the DELE certification exam, which is recognized worldwide as a measure of proficiency in the Spanish language.

DELE Certification

Overview The DELE (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is an official certification of Spanish language proficiency, issued by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. This certification is recognized by universities, employers, and government institutions around the world as proof of one’s ability to communicate effectively in Spanish. There are six levels of DELE exams, ranging from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery).

Taking the DELE Exam in Gran Canaria

In Gran Canaria, there are several places where you can take the DELE exam. The Instituto Cervantes, a non-profit organization that promotes the study and teaching of the Spanish language and culture, is the official exam center for DELE in Gran Canaria. The Instituto Cervantes in Gran Canaria is located in the capital city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and offers exams on different dates throughout the year.

To find out when and where you can take the DELE exam in Gran Canaria, you can visit the official DELE website (https://examenes.cervantes.es/es/dele/donde), and search for exams by location, date, and level. The website also provides information on how to register for the exam, what to expect on test day, and what materials you should bring with you.

Preparing for the DELE Exam

Preparing for the DELE exam requires a strong understanding of the Spanish language, including grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. There are many resources available for those who wish to study for the exam, including textbooks, online courses, and practice tests. It is also recommended that candidates take a course specifically designed to prepare for the DELE exam, which can help them become familiar with the format of the test and the types of questions that are typically asked.

Benefits of DELE Certification

Obtaining a DELE certification can be a valuable asset for anyone who wishes to improve their Spanish language skills, whether for personal or professional reasons. By taking the exam in Gran Canaria, you can also experience the beauty and culture of this unique island while working towards your language goals.
