PLIDA exam preparation course

ITALIAIDEA is an authorized PLIDA Certification Center.

WHAT IS PLIDA?
The PLIDA (Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri) Test certifies competency in Italian as a foreign language. It is officially recognized by the Italian Ministry of University and Research, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Italian Ministry of Work and Social Policies, and the Italian Ministry of the Interior.
With a PLIDA Certification you can:
– clearly demonstrate your competency level in Italian on a CV;
– use the results to enroll in an Italian University without taking other language tests;
– obtain a long term work permit to stay in Italy.

The PLIDA certification is offered in six levels, corresponding to the ones suggested by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL):

Elementary Italian	PLIDA A1	A1 QCER (Breakthrough Level)
Elementary Italian	PLIDA A2	A2 QCER (Waystage Level)
Intermediate Italian	PLIDA B1	B1 QCER (Threshold Level)
Intermediate Italian	PLIDA B2	B2 QCER (Vantage Level)
Advanced Italian	PLIDA C1	C1 QCER (Proficiency Level)

For each level there are four sections, one for every linguistic skill; Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
To pass the exam and obtain immediate certification, you need to achieve a minimum of 18 out of 30 points for each of the four section.
If you do not pass all sections, you have a year to repeat any single section in other scheduled exam sessions.
