I’m so glad I decided to take the DELE preparation course at Iberia Language Academy. The classes were outstanding, with teachers who made the exam content clear and understandable.

I was a bit intimidated by the exam and preparation but I felt supported every step of the way. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone looking to sit the DELE exam!

"Best language school in Barcelona!"

ILA exceeded my expectations as a language school in Barcelona. The curriculum was well-structured and the teachers did such a good job of getting everyone talking. I also really appreciated the small group sizes.

Sara SanniIntensive Spanish, Morocco

"Amazing Spanish course! Highly recommended!"

ILA provided me with an incredible Spanish course experience in Barcelona. The instructors were so warm and friendly and made the classes really engaging. I didn’t think I was capable of it.

Abhinav CalebPart-time Spanish, United States

"Unforgettable Spanish learning journey!"

My experience at ILA was amazing. The dynamic lessons, cultural activities, and supportive environment made my Spanish learning journey truly enjoyable. I can’t recommend them enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

The DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is the official Spanish language certificate from Instituto Cervantes. It is internationally recognised and often required for university, work and official procedures in Spain.

It depends on your goals:

A2 – required for Spanish citizenship.
B1/B2 – often needed for professional roles.
B2/C1 – typically required for university entrance in Spain.

If you’re unsure which level to take, we’ll assess your Spanish and recommend the right option for you.

The DELE is challenging because it tests real communication skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing. With focused preparation, regular practice and expert guidance, most students see strong improvement and feel confident on exam day.

You’ll receive:

• Classes taught by teachers trained by our academic director, an accredited DELE examiner
• Two mock exams under exam conditions, one partial and one full
• Speaking and writing feedback
• Exam strategy sessions
• The coursebook and all necessary materials
• Support with exam registration in Barcelona

Yes. We prepare students for DELE A2, B1, B2 and C1 – the levels most commonly required for citizenship, university studies and professional purposes.

Yes – we strictly limit classes to a maximum of 8 students. This means you’ll get plenty of speaking practice, individual feedback and time with the teacher.

Yes. Before the course starts, we’ll assess your speaking and writing so we can place you in the right group and recommend the most suitable DELE level for you.

Everything is provided, including the coursebook. We use official DELE preparation materials, mock exams and exam-style activities developed by our teachers.

DELE exams typically take place several times per year. Please check the official Instituto Cervantes page for up to date information.

You must create an account with the Instituto Cervantes, then register for an exam. You can create an account using this link: https://examenes.cervantes.es/es/user/register. We can support you with this on the course.

Yes. Our DELE A2 preparation is specifically designed to help you meet the Spanish citizenship requirement efficiently and confidently. Citizenship applicants need two Instituto Cervantes exams, not one: the DELE A2 and the CCSE, a separate test on Spanish constitutional and sociocultural knowledge. This course prepares you for the DELE A2; you register for and sit the CCSE separately.

Absolutely. If you need DELE B2 or C1 to access university programmes in Spain, this course will give you structured preparation with a strong focus on academic speaking and writing skills.
