The Certification of Italian as a Foreign Language (CILS) is the generally recognised system of determining the level of Italian of a non-native speaker. If you want to study in an Italian university, possession of a CILS certificate is often compulsory. Exams are produced and marked by the University of Siena for Foreigners.
We offer preparation courses for all the CILS exams. Students can choose to do either an intensive course or an extensive course. Students take regular mock exams in addition to the normal hours of the course to familiarise themselves with the exam which takes place at the beginning of June and December.
Each exam has 5 parts:
- reading
- writing
- listening
- speaking
- grammar
