What is SIELE?
SIELE is the Servicio Internacional de Evaluación de la Lengua Española (International Assessment Service for the Spanish Language), a service that assesses and certifies Spanish proficiency through technological means and is directed towards students and professionals around the world.
Promoted by the Instituto Cervantes, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Universidad de Salamanca and Universidad de Buenos Aires, these institutions guarantee the standards for quality and good practices in the creation of the tests and the use of diverse linguistic varieties in the Hispanic world.
SIELE certifies degree of proficiency for the Spanish language with four tests: Reading comprehension, Listening comprehension, Written expression and interaction and Oral expression and interaction; and takes as reference the levels established by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) from the European Council.
SIELE independent modalities
The independent SIELE modalities are created from five possible combinations of the tests that make up the SIELE Global exam.Upon completing one of the SIELE independent modalities, you receive a report with a validity period of five years, which includes your test score(s) and their corresponding CEFR level equivalence.
