DELE Exam Centre inaugurated at ABA Oman International School

The first official DELE Exam Centre in Oman was established at ABA Oman International School, Madinat Al Irfan, recently. H.E. Maria Luisa Huidobro Martin-Laborda, Ambassador of Spain to Oman inaugurated the DELE Exam centre at ABA on 25th September.

The DELE (Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language) is an official Diploma from the Government of Spain and is recognized worldwide for university applications and CVS. At ABA, the levels offered are A1, A2, B1 and B2 for students and adults. ABA’s partnership with the Embassy of Spain has brought these prestigious exams to Oman, providing an opportunity for ABA students and the wider Muscat community to have their language skills certified, to enhance their global competitiveness.

H.E. Maria Luisa Huidobro Martin-Laborda stated, “I extend my heartfelt gratitude to ABA Lingo, Miguel Vazquez, the DELE coordinator at ABA Oman International School and Anjalee Paratian, ABA Lingo Coordinator for their invaluable contributions in bringing about this significant achievement. The institution of this centre marks a remarkable milestone and a momentous advancement in the promotion of the rich Spanish language and culture within the country.”

“The DELE certification is a testament to the effectiveness of our ABA Lingo programme, an integral part of ABA’s after-school programmes, offered to students and adults from ABA and the wider Muscat community”, said Anjalee Paratian. “ABA Lingo provides 17 different language classes available in both mother-language and foreign-language programmes. It is through our Spanish language programme within ABA Lingo that the need for DELE certification arose, driven by our community’s desire for an internationally recognized certification”.

The successful inauguration of the DELE exams in Oman is a significant achievement that fills us with pride,” mentioned Miguel Vazquez, the DELE Coordinator at ABA School. “We firmly believe that mastering the Spanish language opens doors to endless opportunities, both personally and professionally, and we are thrilled to offer this esteemed examination to our students and the wider Muscat community.”
