Exam and Certification Preparation

Exam and Certification Preparation

For students who need an official Italian language certificate for university, citizenship, or work purposes. Lessons work through past exam papers, timing, and the specific mistakes examiners mark down, rather than general language skills. You leave each session knowing exactly which part of the test still needs work.

Our commitment to you

If after your first lesson or first week you feel the group or tutor is clearly wrong for your level, we move you at no extra cost. We cannot guarantee exam results or fluency by a set date, because that depends on your own practice too, but we do guarantee the lessons match your actual level and goal. Pricing & payment

Questions about this service

Which certificate should I choose?

It depends on the requirement, CILS and CELI are common for university and citizenship, PLIDA is often requested for work permits, we can check the specific requirement with you.

How far in advance should I start?

For most levels, eight to twelve weeks of regular sessions gives enough time to fix weak areas without cramming.

Do you guarantee I will pass?

No one can guarantee an exam result, what we do guarantee is that your preparation is matched to the real exam format and marking criteria.

How a course usually starts

  1. 1

    Target and timeline

    We confirm which certificate and level you need and by which exam sitting.

  2. 2

    Diagnostic test

    A mock exam under real time limits shows where marks are currently being lost.

  3. 3

    Targeted lessons

    Sessions focus on the weakest section first, whether that is listening, writing, or speaking.

  4. 4

    Final mock exams

    In the last two weeks we run full timed mocks to build exam-day pacing.

Why students stay with us term after term

Focused preparation for CILS, CELI and PLIDA certificates

Marked like the real exam

Feedback follows the same criteria examiners use, so you know your actual score range, not a guess.

Time management practice

Many candidates lose marks simply from running out of time, mock exams fix that before the real day.

Clear target date

The whole plan is built backward from your exam date, so nothing is left until the last week.
