PLIDA
What Is PLIDA?
The PLIDA (Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri) certificate is an official diploma issued by the Società Dante Alighieri under an agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and with the approval of the University of Rome. The PLIDA is also recognized by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies and by the Ministry of University and Research as a qualification for the university entry of foreign students.
The PLIDA certificate attests proficiency in Italian as a foreign language on the basis of 6-level scale established by the Council of Europe in the Common European Framework for Languages: from level A1, the most elementary, documenting the ability to use Italian in everyday situations, to level C2, the most qualified, guaranteeing an expertise comparable to that of an educated mother-tongue speaker, and which can be used in all professional contexts.

Get Certified
Our teachers are qualified native speakers of Italian. They present Italian language, culture and civilization in an enjoyable learning environment which encourages active participation in speaking and understanding the Italian language. The essential elements of grammar develop naturally from listening and reading activities and are put into practice through a variety of communicative situations.
An official Dante Alighieri attendance certificate (ADA) will be issued to participants who will achieve an attendance record of at least 80%.
Students enrolled in these courses are also encouraged to participate in the social and cultural activities organised by the Dante Alighieri Society of SA.
Exams (for ALL levels) are held in late November for our students and external students wishing to sit for the PLIDA certification (fees apply).
