Here's what the exam is all about, how to register for it and how much it costs:

SIELE is the International Spanish Language Evaluation Service that certifies the level of Spanish language proficiency through electronic means. It is aimed at students and professionals from all five continents.

It is a multi-level test in which the tasks in each test are of varying degrees of difficulty, allowing the candidate to be placed at a level of proficiency from A1 to C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

You can take either a single multi-level test (SIELE GLOBAL) or five separate test modes based on a combination of different tests.

SIELE Global

The only multilevel exam that allows you to obtain the SIELE certificate, a document that includes the score obtained in each of the four tests and their equivalence with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), as well as an overall score from 0 to 1000, which is the result of the sum of the score of each of the four tests.

Independent modalities

There are five further examination modes based on a combination of the different tests.
Any of these five stand-alone modalities allows you to obtain an internationally recognised SIELE Report and the scores obtained are related to the CEFR levels.
It includes a score from 0 to 500 for S1, S2 and S3 with a total of two tests, and from 0 to 250 for S4 with one test, related to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

  • It is promoted by the Instituto Cervantes, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the University of Salamanca and the University of Buenos Aires, which guarantees standards of quality and good practice in the preparation of the tests, and the use of different linguistic varieties of the Hispanic world. The validity of these SIELE certificates is 5 years.
  • With SIELE, candidates project their profile internationally and strengthen it with a view to admission to training programmes at universities and selection processes in companies.
  • It is agile and fast. The results are received within a maximum of three weeks and the candidate can print their certificate or report from the computer application.
  • Adaptable. Different examination modalities are available to meet the different needs that users and institutions or companies may have.
  • Flexible. The exam takes place at the SIELE test centre of your choice and on the day you choose. Educational institutions can create unified systems for training actions regardless of the country of residence of the students and/or professionals.
  • Homogeneous. It is pan-Hispanic and incorporates different linguistic variants of Spanish.

The price of the exam depends on the type of exam you take. These are the prices established in Spain for each of them:
