OUR LANGUAGE COURSES<\/h1>\n

CLICK HERE TO DISCOVER OUR ITALIAN CLASSES OFFER FOR SPRING 2026<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

IMPORTANT: OUR NEXT TERM OF ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES (SPRING 2026) WILL START AT THE END OF JANUARY 2026 AND ENROLMENTS WILL OPEN MID-DECEMBER 2025. MORE INFO WILL BE PUBLISHED ON OUR WEBSITE AT THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER.<\/p>\n

Our courses will help you develop listening, reading, speaking and writing skills in a structured and gradual manner. Our teachers are Italian graduates with extensive experience and special qualifications in the teaching of Italian as a foreign language. Their enthusiasm and ability is known throughout Dublin and beyond.<\/p>\n

Our sincere hope is that not only will you enjoy learning the Italian language but that you will partake in our cultural activities and promotion of Italian culture. Our programme of events includes lectures, concerts, seminars, and exhibitions. They are presented with free admission unless otherwise specified.<\/p>\n

Our courses are structured according to the Council of Europe\u2019s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.<\/p>\n

Level A1.1 is for total beginners and those students with a very basic knowledge of Italian. No test is required for this level.<\/p>\n

The courses we offer are structured in such a way to allow you complete a linguistic journey from A to Z in the Italian language, up to the entry level required to study in Italian universities.<\/p>\n

At the end of the term you can decide if you want to go ahead with the next level or if you prefer to consolidate what you have learned.<\/p>\n

This system will make the learning experience more flexible and will allow the students to self-assess their progress.<\/p>\n

OUR COURSE PROGRESSION<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We offer\u00a0ONSITE and ONLINE Extensive Courses of 30 hours : one class of 2 hours per week, for a total of 30 hours in 15 weeks<\/p>\n

Fee: \u20ac330 for all courses –\u00a05% discount for returning students, OAP and full-time students \u2013 on presentation of valid documentation<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our courses are structured according to the\u00a0Council of Europe\u2019s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).<\/a><\/p>\n

Every level (A1, A2, etc.) is divided into 3 sublevels and it takes 30 hours to complete each sub-level.<\/p>\n

Generally, courses are attended in progression (one sub-level per term) and it\u2019s not possible to attend two sub-levels at the same time.<\/p>\n

No test is done at the end of each sub-level and the student is automatically admitted to the next course. However, if you study Italian independently and wish to be admitted to a higher level, you can do that upon completion of an assessment test.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of each course, we can issue a letter of attendance of the same; however these are not official documents that testify your language proficiency.<\/p>\n

Language proficiency can be certified through an\u00a0official language certification<\/strong>\u00a0(such as CILS, CELI, PLIDA, etc.). You find more information on our webpage here:\u00a0https:\/\/iicdublino.esteri.it\/en\/lingua-e-cultura\/certificazioni\/<\/a><\/p>\n
