A Spanish language certificate from Examinizer shows your CEFR level, from A1 to C2, based on a 25-question adaptive test you take online. Grammar, vocabulary, and reading questions adjust in difficulty as you answer, placing you at your actual level in about 25 minutes. Your result appears instantly, and a PDF certificate with a QR verification code costs €8.
What the Certificate Proves
The certificate states a single CEFR level for your general Spanish ability, based on grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension answers from the adaptive test. It does not break the result into four skills the way DELE does. It gives one clear number on the six-point CEFR scale.
Every certificate carries a QR code linking to a verification page, so anyone who receives your PDF can confirm Examinizer issued it and see the issue date. A working verification link separates a genuine result from an edited screenshot, which matters more to recruiters every year.
Who Accepts It
Recruiters use it as a quick screening signal on a CV or LinkedIn profile, especially for roles where Spanish helps but isn't the core qualification. Language schools sometimes use it to place students, and it works well as a personal benchmark before an official exam.
It is not a substitute for DELE or SIELE in any situation where a university, employer, or government office names one of those exams as a requirement. Those exams are accredited by the Instituto Cervantes and the Cervantes-Universidad de Salamanca consortium; Examinizer is not. If an application names DELE or SIELE, this certificate will not satisfy it.

Common Questions About the Spanish Language Certificate
No. DELE and SIELE are proctored, accredited Spanish exams recognized by universities, employers, and the Spanish government, and they cost roughly €90 to €220 depending on the level. Examinizer's certificate comes from a free, unproctored 25-question adaptive test taken online in about 25 minutes, with the PDF costing €8. Use DELE or SIELE when an institution names one by name; use Examinizer for a quick, low-cost check on your level.
B2 is the most requested level for customer-facing and office roles in companies operating across Spanish-speaking markets, since it covers fluent conversation and routine written communication. Some technical roles accept B1 because the job leans more on reading than spontaneous speech. Client-facing and senior roles often ask for C1. Always check the exact posting.
No. Spanish nationality and residency processes that require language proof specify DELE at a set level, issued by the Instituto Cervantes. Examinizer's certificate is not accepted for these applications because it lacks that institutional accreditation.
The test adapts question by question, so a correct answer triggers a harder one and an incorrect answer triggers an easier one. After 25 questions on grammar, vocabulary, and reading, your answers map to a CEFR level from A1 to C2, converging on your real ability rather than a fixed score.
Many recruiters treat it as a fast screening signal on a CV, and some language schools use it to place new students at the right starting level. It does not replace DELE or SIELE where a university, employer, or embassy names one of those exams specifically.
