The Commercial PLIDA Certification was born to satisfy the requests of those people who study Italian for working reasons in environments linked to finance, commerce, industry and business. The exam attests the specific competence in Italian both from the lexical point of view (ability to understand and to use the Italian commercial lexicon) and from the textual point of view (ability to understand and to use typical texts of specific working environments). The Commercial PLIDA Certification attests the competence in Italian as foreign language for three of the six levels established by the Council of Europe (Common European Framework for Languages).

The COMMERCIAL PLIDA exam is addressed to over-18 people, whose mother-thongue is not the Italian language. To register for an examination it is not necessary to have passed the previous levels: each candidate chooses the level of Italian for which he thinks he is qualified, and can even enter for more than one level in the same session.

The tests for the exams of COMMERCIAL PLIDA are built on authentic texts pertaining to fields of employment typical of the world of business. The texts used for the comprehension’s tests and the requested ideas for the production’s tests are selected in that they belong to the specific environment both for the oral (ex. selective interview, introductions, call, booking, description of his own work, promotion of a product, meeting, interview) and for the written test (work’s advertisement, professional curriculum, specialist article, advertising promotion, memo, report, plan, post: application for a job, references, convocation, request, order, complaint).

The tests of COMMERCIAL PLIDA certification are hold every year in pre-established dates that are valid for all the Examination Centres. Students can register until May 21th.
