I would like to test my level of German, French, Italian or Spanish

Do you need proof of your language proficiency in German, French, Italian or Spanish? At the Language Centre, we offer a test to assess your level of Spanish. For the other languages, we’d be happy to refer you to the relevant providers.
German
You can have your German language proficiency assessed at the Goethe-Institut in Amsterdam. They offer exams for students and professionals at levels A1 to C2.
French
You can have your French language proficiency assessed at the Institut français NL in Groningen. They offer the DELF and DALF exams at levels A1 to C2.
Italian
You can take an official CELI exam to assess your Italian proficiency. The exams cover levels A1 to C2. The test centre for CELI in the Netherlands is the Italian Cultural Institute in Amsterdam.
Spanish
You can have your Spanish language proficiency assessed at the University of Groningen Language Centre using our own Spanish test. You can also contact external providers to take an official Spanish exam, such as DELE and SIELE.
Spanish Test via UG Language Centre
You can take the Language Centre Spanish Test at levels A2, B1 and B2. Please keep in mind that the test is not universally recognised. Before you register for the test, we therefore advise you to check with the relevant university or organisation whether they accept the Language Centre Spanish test as proof of your language level.
DELE and SIELE via an external provider
The Instituto Cervantes administers the official exams leading to a universally recognised international Spanish language qualification: DELE and SIELE. The DELE test centres are located in Utrecht and Tilburg; the SIELE exam is taken online. Full details of the differences between the exams and how to register can be found on the Cervantes website.
Would you like to improve your language skills?
Before taking your language proficiency test, it may be useful to take a language course to refresh your skills. We offer courses in several languages for a wide range of levels— take a look to find the course that suits you best!
Or do you need some more (informal) practice? Every Thursday, Café de las Lenguas hosts informal gatherings to help learners practise their conversational language skills. Visit their Instagram to find out more!
