If you are applying for Spanish nationality by residency, the DELE A2 (or higher) is mandatory.
Options: In 2027, DELE A2 is available across all 7 examination calls (February, April, May, July, September, October, November).
Tip: Pair your DELE A2 preparation with the CCSE (Constitutional and Cultural Knowledge of Spain) exam for a smooth citizenship process.
Most Spanish universities require a B2 level for undergraduate degrees and B2/C1 for master’s programs or professional accreditation.
Best sessions: April, May, July, and November.
Important: DELE results usually take around 2 to 3 months to be released. If you need your certificate for university admissions starting in September 2027, aim to take the April 2, 2027 exam or earlier to receive your grades in time!
The highest level of Spanish proficiency (C2) is held only twice a year: May 22 and November 13.
