The qualification
Digital Spanish Language Certification
SIELE (Servicio Internacional de Evaluación de la Lengua Española) is a digital and multilevel Spanish certification system backed by Instituto Cervantes, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Universidad de Salamanca and Universidad de Buenos Aires. SIELE Global assesses reading, listening, written expression and oral expression in one digital exam.
Who is it for?
- University applications and academic mobility where SIELE is accepted
- Professional and employment purposes where SIELE meets the requirement
- Candidates who prefer a digital, multilevel assessment
- Candidates who need a score reflecting current proficiency rather than choosing a fixed level

Exam format
SIELE Global brings the four skills together in a digital assessment lasting approximately three hours. Preparation includes working with the digital task types and managing time across the different tests. Digital delivery does not by itself mean the exam can be taken at home or at CDI; confirm the official registration route and available test location.
Validity & requirements
The SIELE Global certificate is valid for five years. Confirm that SIELE, the chosen modality and the required score are accepted for your study programme or professional purpose before registering.
