DELE A2 preparation
- DELE A2 exam preparation
- 11 classes and two mock exams
- In a mini-group of up to 4 people β 90 minutes, once a week (about 11 weeks)
- Individual classes β 60 minutes, twice a week (about 6 weeks)
- Online with a teacher who is an accredited DELE examiner
The DELE A2 diploma is one of the requirements for Spanish citizenship. You know Spanish, but an exam is a separate skill: strict timing, tasks with their own logic, and nerves on the exam day. In this course, we go through the exam task by task, teach you techniques that help with each one and hold mock exams in real exam conditions. By the day of the exam, you will know exactly what to expect, down to the smallest detail.
What DELE is
DELE is an official diploma that proves your level of Spanish. It is issued by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of Spain's Ministry of Education, and it never expires. You need it to study and work, and an A2 diploma or higher is one of the requirements for Spanish citizenship.
Who this course is for
For people who already have the Spanish level of the exam and want to pass it the first time. If you have finished our Course A2 "Tourist" or are studying Spanish at A2 level, this course is right for you.
If you are not sure about your level, you can take our free Spanish level test β

How the course is organised
The DELE A2 exam has four parts: reading, listening, writing and speaking. The course goes through them in order, and at the end you take the mock exams.
- Class 1. How the exam is organised: parts, tasks and rules. Grammar diagnostic test
- Class 2. Reading: techniques for tasks 1 and 4
- Class 3. Reading: task 2
- Class 4. Reading: task 3
- Class 5. Listening: all four tasks and two full practice tests against the clock
- Class 6. Writing: how to build a text, linking words and developing your ideas
- Class 7. Spelling and punctuation
- Class 8. Writing: task 1 of the exam
- Class 9. Writing: task 2 of the exam
- Class 10. Speaking: all three tasks and how to prepare for them
- Class 11. Speaking: full practice β up to three rounds of all the tasks
Mock exams
We hold two mock exams of 2 hours 30 minutes that are just like the exam day: the same instructions at the start, the same parts in the same order, and the same time for each one.
- instructions β 5 minutes
- reading β 60 minutes
- listening β 40 minutes
- writing β 45 minutes
You take the speaking part separately, one to one with an examiner: you prepare, complete three tasks against the clock and get feedback straight away β just like in the real exam. The mock speaking exam is included in the course price.
What the classes are like
Classes are taught by native-speaker teachers who are accredited DELE examiners. They know the criteria used to mark each task, and they teach you how to answer correctly to get the highest possible score.
In each class, we work on one task of the exam: first we look at what the task tests and how much time to spend on it, then we learn techniques to complete it well and practise with tasks from real DELE exams. The teacher checks your written work and returns it with comments.
With the course, you also get:
- a guide for the exam day: what to take with you, how each part works, how to manage your time and deal with nerves
- a checklist to look through before you go into the exam room
- a grammar workbook for revision
All materials are included in the course price.
Readiness check
In the first class, you take a grammar diagnostic test: this shows us what you should review before the exam. The mock exams show how many points you score in each part of the exam and what you still need to work on. After each one, you get a review of your answers.
Price
From β¬25 per class
In a mini-group, each class costs from β¬25 per person, and individually, from β¬50. The written mock exam is paid separately β from β¬50 per person β and the mock speaking test is included in the course price. The Instituto Cervantes exam fee is not included: you pay it directly to the Instituto Cervantes when you register for the exam, and we will tell you how and when to do it.
We will tell you the exact price after you fill in the form and we prepare a proposal with a course and a teacher for you.
