C.I.L.S.: CERTIFICATION OF ITALIAN
AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
CILS – Certification of Italian as a foreign language – is the official degree declaring the
degree of linguistic communication in Italian as a foreign language. The Certification CILS is a
degree awarded by the University for Foreigners of Siena under the Act 17 February 1992 nr.

Università per Stranieri di Siena
THE CILS LEVELS:
There are 4 CILS levels: Livel UNO, Livel DUE, Livel TRE and Livel QUATTRO, identifying a
linguistic and communicative competence progressively higher according to the parameters
provided in the document of the Council of Europe, Modern Languages: Learning, Teaching,
Assessment. The Common European Framework of Reference (1996). To obtain the Certificate
in one of four levels it is necessary to pass an exam composed of five parts, with tests in
listening, reading comprehension, analysis of the structures of communication, writing and
speaking. During 2001, two will be activated at pre-CILS A1 and A2, for people who need a
proof of competence in Italian L2, even if it is at an early stage of the learning process. This is
the the framework of correspondence between the CILS levels and the levels of the European
Framework.
PARTICIPANTS:
The CILS is aimed at Italians living abroad or foreign nationals. CILS è rivolta a cittadini
stranieri o italiani residenti all'estero. To take the exam is not necessary to have special
qualifications nor is it necessarry to have passed a previous CILS exam (lower level). The CILS
tests are not tied to specific methods or forms of language courses.Le prove CILS non sono
legate a particolari metodi o tipi di corsi di lingua.
EXPENDABILITY OF THE CERTIFICATE:
The CILS is useful to those who study Italian, those who work and study in Italy and those
who wish to measure their competence in Italian. Each level of CILS attests an ability to
communicate in diverse contexts and situations. The ability of each level of certification for
foreigners who wish to undertake activities in relation with Italian institutions (professionally
or studying-like) is determined by the document of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Coordinated system of Certificates of Italian for Foreigners, Rome 1998. The levels UNO and
DUE guarantee the capacity to communicate with autonomy in everyday situations. The level
DUE enables to handle a greater variety of situations, but always typical for everyday life. It is
the level which allows enrolling in an Italian University without having to make an Italian
language entrance test. The level TRE allows you to communicate in everyday situations and
even in formal relations, publicly or at work. Level QUATTRO attests communication skills that
a foreigner should have to use the Italian language in a professional environment: for
example it is the appropriate level for teaching Italian as L2. Many Italian companies working
abroad and want to recruit foreign employees, or foreign companies with commerical ties in
Italy, require that their employees possess a CILS certificate, in accordance with the work they
will undertake.
TESTING AND EVALUATION:
All tests are produced and evaluated by the Certification Centre of the University for
Foreigners of Siena on the basis of European standards set by the Council of Europe. Each of
the five skills is worth 20 points. Each skill requires a minimum score of 11 points. The total
maximum possible obtainable score is 100 points. The total minimum required score is 55
points. To obtain the CILS certification the candidate must achieve the minimum score in all
the skills. If a candidate obtains the minimum score in only a few skills, the result is
capitalized: a successive examination the applicant only needs to take the tests he or she
didn’t pass previously. The capitalized parts are valid for one year from the first exam.
