Instituto Cervantes (IC) is a worldwide non-profit organisation created by the Spanish government in 1991. Its mission is to promote the teaching, study and use of Spanish as a second language and to contribute to the advancement of Spanish and Hispanic American cultures throughout non-Spanish speaking countries.
In April 2005 the Instituto Cervantes Liubliana (also called Aula Cervantes), a branch of the Instituto Cervantes (IC) network, was opened in Ljubljana. Its establishment was based on an agreement signed between Instituto Cervantes and the University of Ljubljana. Aula Cervantes in Ljubljana offers a reading room and a library containing literature, textbooks, and multimedia items.
The Instituto Cervantes in Ljubljana organizes tests to obtain Diplomas in Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE), official qualifications certifying the degree of competence and mastery of Spanish, granted by Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of Spain. Apart from Spanish language courses (offered through advanced learning methods), the institute also organises various cultural programmes and projects.
