Servicio Internacional de Evaluación de la Lengua Española
SIELE certifies the level of competence 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 established by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) of the Council of Europe.
It is promoted by the Instituto Cervantes, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), the Universidad de Salamanca (USAL) and the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), which guarantees quality standards and best practices in the elaboration of the tests, and the use of different linguistic varieties of the Hispanic world.
