PLIDA Exam in November - APPLY NOW!

PLIDA is one of the three Italian language proficiency tests officially recognised by the Italian government. By passing the B2 level or above, you can use it as a proof of language proficiency when applying jobs in Italy or enrolling universities as foreign students. It works just like TOEFL or IELTS for English, DELF/DALF for French or ZDaF for German.

Dante Chch has recently been endorsed by the Dante Alighieri Sede Centrale as Centro Certificatore, and from November this year we will start running PLIDA exams and preparatory workshops in Chch.

Each of the four basic abilities: Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing is addressed and assessed separately. The length of the examinations varies according to the levels and goes from 90 min. for A1 level (Waystage) to a max. 210 min. for level C2 (Mastery). PLIDA takes place twice per year in May and November. A non-refundable fee is payable to sit the exam, currently it is set around somewhere less than $200 for each level, and a more detailed fee schedule will be released once it is decided.

DA Chch is the only committee running the PLIDA exams in NZ. To help us organise the exams and the preparatory workshops, please contact us if you wish to take the exam or you wish to obtain further details regarding the times and costs.
