WHAT IS SIELE?

SIELE in English means International Evaluation Service of the Spanish Language. SIELE certifies electronically the command of the Spanish language for students and professionals. These certificates are recognized by the top international organizations in the world of education and languages.

Four leading institutions endorse the quality standards and good practices of these exams: Instituto Cervantes (Spain), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico), Universidad de Salamanca (Spain) and Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina). These institutions guarantee the use of diverse linguistic varieties from the Spanish-speaking countries.

The exam also takes as a reference the levels established by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), so candidates can obtain a certificate from A2 to C1 level.
