UCC Hosts CILS Exams

UCC Hosts CILS Exams   CILS – a certificate of Italian as a second language – measures and assesses the level of competence a student has reached in Italian language. It is useful for those whose work and study puts them in daily contact with Italy , or simply for those who wish to evaluate their competence in the Italian language.  The certificate awarded by the Università per Stranieri di Siena is legally recognised as an official certification of linguistic communicative competence.

• On Saturday, 12 June 2010 the Department of Italian will host the CILS exams in UCC.  Application is open to all [with or without formal study of the language].
