A large Spanish immersion sector
Costa Rica hosts one of the largest Spanish immersion sectors in the Americas, and a great many US students and professionals hold a Costa Rican language school certificate.
Those are course completion certificates from private schools, not state credentials, and their weight depends entirely on the institution. We name the school and describe what the certificate attests rather than presenting it as a national qualification.
University certification, and the state
Costa Rican public universities run Spanish programmes for foreign speakers and issue certificates at defined levels, and those carry institutional weight a private school certificate does not.
Costa Rica does not operate a national Spanish proficiency examination; DELE and SIELE are taken at centres in the country. We name the issuer and the examination.
Bribri, Cabécar and the indigenous languages
Costa Rica recognises indigenous languages including Bribri, Cabécar, Ngäbere and Maleku, with intercultural bilingual education provision in the territories and teacher certification attached to it.
A certificate in one of those attests a language rather than a dialect, and we name it and the issuing institution.
English, and the teaching sector
Costa Rica has invested heavily in English as a driver of its services economy, and English teaching and proficiency certification recognised by the education ministry appear in Costa Rican professional files.
We name the certificate and the recognition where the document states it. See our Spanish page.
