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.
