CHOOSING YOUR LEVEL
Our language courses are based on the standards of the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
* Please note that the Institute is not in a position to offer free assessment tests for the online Autumn courses.
If you are not a returning student and wish to enrol for a level other than absolute beginner please provide a certificate of attendance from your previous language school stating your current level or arrange a self assessment.
Please select a course at a level that corresponds to your existing knowledge of Italian. If you are unsure, you can determine your own level of proficiency in Italian by working through the descriptors for each of the CEFR language levels, available HERE.* **
