At the University of Toronto, anyone enrolling in a Spanish course for the first time must take the department’s mandatory online placement test, which can only be taken once; misrepresenting prior knowledge is an academic offence. Beginners start at SPA101H1, high-school Spanish points to SPA102H1 and heritage speakers take SPA205H1. Prepare honestly, then book tutoring for the term.
LWSBD, LWSCU and LWSDU are Ontario’s course codes for Spanish Level 1, 2 and 3, each a full OSSD credit in Group 1. Toronto students take them in day school or on Saturdays through the TDSB’s Saturday International Languages credit programme, in North York or remotely, with Level 1 needing no prerequisite.
Near Toronto, the DELE is offered through Instituto Cervantes examination centres at the Lycée Français de Toronto (2327 Dufferin Street) and Toronto French School (306 Lawrence Avenue East), with the main 2026 sessions on 23 May and 14 November. The SIELE, a computer-based exam with results in about three weeks, has an authorised centre at Speak Spanish Academy in Oakville.
