CILS is an officially recognized qualification that attests the degree of linguistic-communicative competence in Italian as L2.
CILS is the first certification of Italian to have adopted the system of six levels of linguistic-communicative competence proposed by the Common European Framework of Reference of the Council of Europe to have created specific certification modules for workers of foreign origin in Italy.
Each CILS level is autonomous and complete: the certification of each level declares a degree of communicative ability appropriate to specific social, professional and study contexts.
See the details for each CILS level in our table.
