Citizenship

Citizenship: DELE A2 + CCSE

Spanish citizenship applicants must pass two Instituto Cervantes exams: the DELE A2 language test and the CCSE test of constitutional and sociocultural knowledge. This course prepares both at once, pairing practical A2 language with the exact 300-question CCSE bank.

For nationality by residence, yes — DELE A2 (or higher) plus the CCSE are both required by the Instituto Cervantes.

Are the CCSE questions the real ones?

We train on the full official 300-question bank the live exam is drawn from, so nothing is a surprise.

What if I already speak some Spanish?
