Score and level, not pass/fail

Certificate or report
SIELE Global (all four tests) gives a certificate; the separate modules give a report. Both are valid 5 years, and you also get a digital badge.[5]

Parcours & niveaux2
Royal Decree 1004/2015 asks for a DELE of at least A2 for nationality by residence; SIELE is not named there or on the Instituto Cervantes nationality page. Use DELE A2 for nationality.[7]
Spain has no national language or civic exam for residence permits: long-term residence asks for 5 years of legal residence, income and health insurance, not a test. DELE A2 and CCSE are for nationality.[8]
