SIELE Certificates
These certificates certify the level of Spanish proficiency of a person, regardless of where or how they learned the language. They are promoted by the Instituto Cervantes, the Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM), the University of Salamanca (USAL), and the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), in addition to having the support and collaboration of more than 80 Ibero-American institutions.
SIELE certifies the level of proficiency in the Spanish language through four tests, which are carried out electronically: Reading Comprehension, Listening Comprehension, Written Expression and Interaction, and Oral Expression and Interaction. It is based on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) of the Council of Europe.
The SIELE exams are not linked to a PASS/FAIL qualification, but rather their tests produce a result associated with one of the six levels of the CEFR: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2.
