Course overview

SIELE (Servicio internacional de Evaluación de la Lengua Española) is a comprehensive and versatile exam for assessing and certifying Spanish language proficiency for students and professionals. SIELE is certified by the Instituto Cervantes, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, the Universidad de Salamanca and the Universidad de Buenos Aires and is based on the levels established by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The SIELE Global certifies your degree of proficiency in the Spanish language with four tests: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written expression and interaction, oral expression and interaction.

A single online and multi-level exam enables the candidate to obtain a SIELE certificate, a document that includes a score from 0 to 1000. The result of the added scores from each of the four tests, corresponds to the level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

The SIELE Global exam is taken completely online and can be scheduled to be taken directly at Speakeasy, an official examination center. Exam results are delivered in less than three weeks, allowing candidates to obtain their qualifications quickly and access their certificate online.

The hassle-free way to officially certify your Spanish level

Kara Danielle Avanceña Speakeasy, November 2023

I’ve loved my experience. It was such a welcoming place from the second I walked in. My teacher is so wonderful and cares about making sure we understand the material. The weekly trips, with bimonthly ones outside the city, have made it so easy to make friends in a place I just moved to. The team was also very responsive when I was emailing months ago with questions. Would happily recommend Speakeasy to anyone looking to learn Spanish and meet new people in Barcelona!
