When to go?

There is no exact answer to this question, it depends. In the world, temperatures and climate differ between the various States even considerably (just think of the climatic differences between southern and northern Europe in terms of temperatures and precipitation). Before choosing the location it is therefore always advisable to inquire first about the climate in the period you have chosen, especially if you go outside Europe. If you are interested in the Southern Hemisphere, you must also consider the reversal of the season.

Another thing you should take into account is that many Italians have the opportunity to go on vacation at the same time (generally between mid-July and mid-August). This means that in the chosen location, in addition to greater confusion given by the high season, you can meet many Italians.

If August is the period you have chosen, we advise you to leave after August if you have the possibility, so as to generally find less confusion.

3 frequently asked questions

Can Cambridge exams take place only in Cambridge? No. There are numerous authorized Exam Centres around the world and exam sessions take place on the same day on all continents.

Is a certificate of attendance issued? Yes. Some schools issue them automatically, others do it on request. In any case, we advise you to inform yourself a few days before the end of your stay.

Is the teaching material provided by the school? Generally yes. Stationery (notebooks, pens, pencils) are usually at the student’s discretion.

Our advice

  • Book your course and flight well in advance. The demand, especially in July and August, can be high!
  • For courses outside Europe, it is necessary to promptly inquire for the issuance of the visa and to take action in advance for its release. (For more information, take a look at the next paragraph).
  • In case the chosen location has multiple airports, try to land in the one closest to your final destination.
  • Pay close attention to the documents. In addition to making sure that your Identity Card (or Passport) is valid for both departure and return to Italy, we recommend that you always keep a copy of all the documentation of your stay abroad (registration, payments etc).
  • For departure, we recommend that you keep your travel documents and accommodation contact details on hand, as well as any tickets for transport from the airport to your destination.
  • We also recommend not limiting the practice of the language to lessons only. We suggest you do a full immersion even after lessons, in your free time: do not use Italian if you are in the company of other Italians, strive to communicate always and only in the language you are learning both when you meet new people and at the supermarket or bar; watch TV and listen to the radio in your language. Following these little tips will make the most of this experience.

Where and when is a visa required?

Being part of the European Community, you do not need a work or study visa if your stay will be in Malta or Ireland.

In the UK, the situation is being updated following Brexit.

In Australia it is possible to apply for a tourist visa for stays of less than three months (ETA or eVisitor), or a student visa, which also gives the possibility to work part-time. The Working Holiday is designed for young people between 18 and 30 years old, has a longer validity (1 year) and allows you to work and study (in the latter case, for no more than 17 weeks).

A visa is not required in New Zealand for stays of less than three months for most European countries. The Italy Working Holiday visa is also available, for those aged between 18 and 30 and aspiring to work in this country.

The situation in South Africa is similarHere, too, for most Europeans, a visa is not required for stays of less than three months, otherwise you can apply for the Study Visa, which also allows you to work part-time.

In Canada it is possible to apply for a Working Holiday visa. This lasts one year and is issued for Italians aged between 18 and 35. For stays of less than 6 months, it is necessary to apply for an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization).

In the United States , finally, it is possible for Italians request a student visa for intensive courses that require more than 17 hours per week of classes. Otherwise, to visit the USA as a tourist, it is necessary to register on a special site. Those with an electronic passport do not need a visa for a stay of less than three months.
