Because preparation is key to success, CPI Costa Rica has created a program model that is easily customized to your personal needs and abilities, permitting the professor to systematically clear up individual doubts about DELE exam topics. Our DELE preparation course starts with a placement test; based on results, the evaluator recommends the appropriate DELE exam level. The program includes oral and written exercises along with extensive practice taking past DELE exams.

Success in passing the DELE exam goes beyond speaking Spanish, it is essential to master certain exam techniques. Our native Spanish CPI professors have mastered all Instituto Cervantes training courses to teach the different topics covered in the DELE exam; for example: writing an essay, writing a letter, specific vocabulary, discussion of cultural and political topics, and current events, just to name a few.
