All standard courses in Italian language and culture conclude with exams.
For levels from A2 to C2, exams take place at the end of each term and consist of written and/or oral tests. For the elementary 1st level course (A1), exams can be taken either at the end of the monthly course or the two-month course.
On exam days, classes are suspended.
For admission to the exams, the required attendance period, which can be completed within three academic years, is three months for the Elementary A2, Intermediate B1 and B2, and Advanced C1 and C2 courses.
Only students who have regularly attended the courses may take the exams. Attendance is certified by the instructors.
The final exam is unique for each level and consists of a series of tests. The duration and content of the exam vary according to the level. At the elementary and intermediate levels, the final exam is only linguistic. At advanced levels, separate tests are also given for each individual subject in the student’s study plan.
In the first week of the course, students can request to move to a higher or lower-level course than the one assigned based on the placement test, with the approval of the language teacher.
Anyone who has already attended a course may enroll in a higher-level course if they have passed the final exam.
