El Instituto Cervantes rediseña el portal de los Diplomas de Español

El portal en Internet  de los Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE), que concede el Instituto Cervantes en nombre del Ministerio de Educación, se ha renovado en profundidad y ya está disponible con sus contenidos ampliados y reorganizados.

Seguirá siendo la plataforma para la comunicación de todos los interesados en relación con los diplomas oficiales de español para extranjeros: candidatos, examinadores, profesores y centros de examen.

Una de las importantes novedades es que los aspirantes a obtener el DELE encontrarán la oportunidad de orientarse  gratuitamente sobre su nivel de conocimiento de la lengua mediante el test de nivel orientativo que ofrece el Aula Virtual del Español.

También pueden informarse sobre dónde examinarse y entrar directamente a las páginas web de los centros de examen para consultar todos los detalles relativos a las convocatorias.  Los Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera son títulos oficiales con reconocimiento internacional y validez indefinida.  Las pruebas se realizan en los meses de mayo, agosto y noviembre.
