Can you speak Italian?
Test it with a PLIDA exam

PLIDA Exams test your language ability and certify competence in Italian as a Foreign Language on a scale of six levels, from A1 to C2, corresponding to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

PLIDA exams are intended for both adults (PLIDA exams) and school-aged learners (PLIDA Juniores exams).

PLIDA exams provide tests for levels A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.

PLIDA Juniores exams feature texts and context of language suitable for school-aged learners (13 to 18 yo) and offer tests for the levels A1, A2, B1, B2.

PLIDA exams are held in more than 300 Exam centres in more than 70 countries. Every year, tens of thousands of people around the world sign up for a PLIDA exam.
