PLIDA Certification Course             (15 hours): 280€

The PLIDA certificate is an official diploma issued by the Dante Alighieri Society by a formal agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (n. 1903 of Nov. 4, 1993). The PLIDA certificate attests competence in Italian as a foreign language according to a scale of six levels, corresponding to six phases in the progression of learning. The levels advance from A1 to C2 in progression of difficulty and correspond to the levels established by the Council of Europe.

Structure of the examination

Each level consists of four Tests that assess language competence in the four skills: listening, reading, writing, speaking. The time allocated to complete the whole examination runs from a minimum of 90 minutes (for the first level) to a maximum of 210 minutes (for the sixth level).

Choosing levels

To register for an examination, it is not necessary to have passed the previous levels. Each candidate chooses the level of Italian for which he thinks he is qualified, and can enter for more than one level at the same time if he wishes.
