Italian Language Exams

Quality exams, quality results

If you are a student of Italian as a foreign language, you may be considering taking an Italian language exam to demonstrate your proficiency in the language. There are a number of different Italian language exams available, but the most common are the CILS, CELI, CERT.IT, and PLIDA exams. All of these are issued by certification bodies that form the association Certificazione Lingua Italiana di Qualità (CLIQ) that ensures a quality system for the certification of language skills following the standards set by the Council of Europe in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
