Questions about DELE A2

Which level do I need for DELE A2, and what is it for?

A2 or higher is what Spanish nationality by residence asks for, together with the CCSE, unless you are exempt (for example as a national of a Spanish-speaking country).

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

Commonly quoted estimates are about 180–200 hours of guided learning to reach A2 from scratch. If you are already one level below, expect a few months of regular study. The Spanish DELE A2 Exam Kit for nationality is in preparation; leave your e-mail on this page for one message when it is ready.

No. DELE diplomas are valid indefinitely. Some universities or employers still ask for a recent certificate, so check their requirements.

Can I retake just one part of DELE A2?

No. The result is given for the exam as a whole, so a resit means taking every paper again.
