The Cervantes Institute of Los Angeles offers the educational community the recognition as a Cervantes Institute Accredited Center and the possibility of becoming a DELE exam center.
Being an Accredited Center of the Cervantes Institute
This accreditation is granted to those centers dedicated to teaching Spanish as a foreign language and committed to the quality of the teaching and learning products and services they offer. To demonstrate this commitment, these centers develop improvement plans focused on five key areas: the organization and operation of the center; teaching and learning services; services that complement learning; the facilities and resources they have; and how they inform their real and target users about their activity.
