That is why a Cervantes accreditation means the highest quality levels because, like any certification, it entails a series of requirements that seek to maintain quality. The Instituto Cervantes is the public institution created by Spain in 1991 to universally promote the teaching, study and use of Spanish and contribute to the spread of Hispanic cultures abroad. In its activities, the Cervantes Institute focuses primarily on the linguistic and cultural heritage that is common to the countries and peoples of the Spanish-speaking community.

It is present in 87 centres distributed in 44 countries across five continents. In addition, it has two headquarters in Spain, the headquarters of Madrid and the headquarters of Alcalá de Henares.

DELE Spanish diplomas are official degrees accrediting the degree of competence and mastery of the Spanish language, awarded by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.

The DELE exams are designed following the guidelines of the Common European Framework of reference (CEFR) and the Manual for linking examinations to CEFR, both works of the Council of Europe.

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 quality standards and good practices in the preparation of tests, and the use of different linguistic varieties of the Hispanic world.
