The SIELE exam certifies the degree of proficiency in the Spanish language through four tests: Reading Comprehension, Listening Comprehension, Written Expression and Interaction, and Oral Expression and Interaction; and takes as a reference the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) of the Council of Europe. SIELE is the International Spanish Language Evaluation Service that certifies the degree of proficiency in Spanish through electronic means. It is aimed at students and professionals from all five continents.
It is promoted by the Cervantes Institute, 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 elaboration of the tests, and the use of different linguistic varieties of the Hispanic world.
