Our Diplomas and Certificates – where they are recognised
Since March 2012, the CSLM has been issuing different types of diplomas to meet the requirements set for foreign language level and accreditation .
- Certificate of Attendance: This certificate is issued to students who have completed one of our courses without taking the final test. It verifies their attendance and participation in the course. This certificate includes the course title and duration in hours but does not indicate successful completion. To qualify for this certificate, students must have attended at least 80% of the class hours assigned to the course.
- Certificate of achievement: This certificate is awarded to students who have successfully completed one of our courses and passed the final test, administered in the last week of the course. This certificate includes course details such as language, level, duration, and the grade achieved. It certifies that the students are officially ready to sign up for the next course in a higher language level and, in most cases, may lead to the recognition of credits based on teaching regulations and the applicable legislation. For more detailed information, please contact the secretary’s office.
- Official level accreditation diploma: This diploma is granted to those who pass the official level accreditation tests conducted by CSLM under the conditions outlined in each application call. These tests adhere to the criteria set out by the Association of Language Centers in Higher Education (ACLES) and have been endorsed by this organization since 2014, ensuring the certificate’s acceptance by Spanish universities and many European universities. Additionally, this official certificate meets the requirements and has been approved by the Andalusian Knowledge Agency of the Andalusian Regional Government .
The diplomas must be collected at the CSLM Information Office no later than three months after the end of the course. Notice of arrival will be sent by email and could be sent by post in exceptional circumstances
