Why pass the CILS?

Learning the Italian language practicing with native speakers is an excellent solution.
The CICLS certificate is a certification from the University of Siena that is essentially aimed at students or professionals who are going to work in a company with interests in Italian economic entities.
The CILS is made up of 6 levels that go from A1 for elementary to C2 for someone bilingual or almost.
The different levels are in line with the directives of the MCREL (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), which ensures a certain harmony between the different certifications.
Thus, level A1 is an introductory level to start and start practicing. This level aims to master very specific concepts of everyday life,
The A2 level (intermediate) consolidates certain knowledge and requires more vocabulary or grammar base in Italian.
To obtain the certification level B1 (threshold), it is necessary to be able to understand and express oneself on other topics that are not precise and factual needs (explain a story for example). The level of oral difficulty is also higher and you can find a regional accent or a more pronounced pronunciation.
The B2 level (independent) is more technical with a denser vocabulary.
Finally, level C2 (autonomous) and C1 (proficiency) are aimed at people who have a solid basis in Italian. Mastery of non-verbal aspects, good tonality or it will be possible to examine cultural references about the history of art or, more generally, Italian culture.
Whatever level you choose, the CILS certification insists on two aspects of the language:
Written comprehension through more or less technical texts.
And listening comprehension thanks to conversations, speeches and dialogues,
Thus, there will be a listening test, a reading test, a written part, an oral exam and an analysis of communicative structures.
To apply for certification, the best solution is to contact the secretariat of the Italian cultural institute in Madrid.
Obtaining the CILS means having the security of seeing your command of Italian formally recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and by Italian universities, from Genoa to Turin via Rome or Florence.
Indeed, since 1993, more than 100,000 people have already obtained this certification. Why pass the CILS?
