Questions about CCSE

Which level do I need for CCSE, and what is it for?

The CCSE is not a language level: it tests knowledge of Spain’s constitution, society and culture. Nationality applicants take it alongside DELE A2 unless exempt.

How long does it take to prepare, and how many words do I need?

The CCSE is a knowledge test, not a language level, and the Instituto Cervantes publishes a preparation manual for it. Many candidates prepare in a few weeks.

Does the CCSE certificate expire?

The CCSE result counts for a nationality application only for a limited number of years; check the current period on the official page.

Can I retake just one part of CCSE?

The CCSE is a single test. If you do not pass, you can register again; check the official page for the current conditions.

How and when do I get my CCSE results?

The Instituto Cervantes publishes the result online, usually a few weeks after the exam.
