Intensive Spanish Courses since 1964

Diploma Internacional de Español: D.I.E.

The Gran Canaria School of Languages is the only authorised center for the DIE (Diploma Internacional de Español) examinations in Las Palmas.

The DIE is recognised by the Courses of Spanish Language and Culture of the Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca.

The objective of the DIE consists of evaluating the capacity of each candidate to communicate effectively with other Spanish speakers.

The DIE is the most complete Spanish diploma that presently exists due to the multiple levels it offers:

- 10 levels in the oral examinations

-  6 level in the written examinations

-  3 subjects as specific purposes: Business, Health and Tourism.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

This test is worth a total of 100 points. In order to pass this test a minimum of 65% must be obtained. If a result of 85% or over is obtained the Diploma will contain a distinction.

The oral and the written test are independent. The candidate can pass both or just one of them. In the last case the candidate will only get the Diploma of the passed past.

 

ADVANTAGES

 

• People who already have a certain level of Spanish can sit the D.I.E. examination without needing to take a course first.

• Exams are held at our school every Friday throughout the year.

• The contents of the D.I.E. exam are flexible and varied; the student can choose the subjects of conversation that interest him most.

• The students do not have to obtain all the levels before achieving level 10. If his knowledge of Spanish allows it he can sit the exams for the level he believes to be most appropriate to him in that moment.
