DELE and SIELE: Spanish certificates you can sit from Durham
The DELE diplomas, issued by the Instituto Cervantes, are the official Spanish qualifications and never expire; sessions are held several times a year in UK exam centres. The SIELE test is taken on a computer and gives a score valid for five years. Adults often aim for A2 for a move to Spain, B1 or B2 for work.
From Durham, two lessons a week take a motivated beginner to A2 in around six months. A tutor who prepares the DELE will drill the oral exam, which has its own format and timing.
Spanish courses by video: you pick a native or qualified tutor for this language, book a first lesson at a low price, then set your own rhythm.

Spanish courses: three ways to make progress
One lesson a week over the year
The most common rhythm among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you up roughly one level a year, provided you practise a little between lessons.
A sprint before an exam
Three or four lessons a week for one to two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.
Pure conversation to build confidence
No textbook: you talk about your day, the news, your job, and the tutor corrects recurring mistakes as you go.
