Booking a DELE A2 exam slot is straightforward—until your first-choice center shows "Completo." This page covers where DELE A2 is conducted, how to secure a slot, and exactly what to do when your preferred center fills up.
Where DELE A2 Is Conducted
DELE A2 is administered by the Instituto Cervantes network and associated exam centers. You can take the test in:
- India: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Goa. (New centers may open; check the official Instituto Cervantes portal.)
- Global: Over 100 countries, including Spain, the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and most European and Latin American nations.
- Online proctored: Not available for DELE A2. All sessions are in-person at a physical center.
Slot Booking Tips
- Register early: Slots open 8–10 weeks before the exam date. Popular centers (Delhi, Mumbai) fill within 48 hours.
- Use the official portal: Go to the Instituto Cervantes website, select your country, city, and exam level. Payment is via credit card or bank transfer.
- Check multiple dates: DELE A2 is offered on fixed global dates (usually February, April, May, July, September, October, November). If your city is full, try the next available date.
- Create an account beforehand: Don't wait until the day slots open. Create your profile and save your details to speed up checkout.

What If Your Preferred Center Is Full?
Don't panic. Here's a step-by-step plan:
- 1Check nearby cities – If Delhi is full, try Gurgaon, Noida, or Jaipur. If Bangalore is booked, look at Mysore or Chennai.
- 2Check the next exam session – The same center may have slots for the following month.
- 3Join a waitlist – Some centers operate a waitlist. Contact the center directly via email or phone. Be polite and ask to be notified if a slot opens.
- 4Consider a different country – If you're flexible, centers in Sri Lanka, Nepal, or the UAE often have availability. Travel costs may be lower than you think.
- 5Verify on the official portal – DELE A2 fees were last revised in early 2026. Confirm current fees and availability on the Instituto Cervantes site.
How to Confirm Your Booking
Once you pay, you'll receive a confirmation email with the date, time, and address. Print this and bring a valid ID (passport or Aadhaar for Indian candidates). No ID = no entry.
