CP10 Course Description
This course offers an overview of the grammar necessary to pass the B1 citizenship exam by CILS. This course is designed for students who are close to a B1 level and need to practice the grammar needed for the exam. It is not meant to be a grammar explanation course, but rather a review course to deepen knowledge and clarify doubts. Students should already have a basic knowledge of the grammar covered (e.g. present tense, passato prossimo, imperfetto, irregular verbs, and pronouns). This course offers students the opportunity to review this grammar thoroughly and practice in a small environment to better approach the citizenship exam.

How to work toward your certification:
WHAT IS THE CILS CERTIFICATION EXAM?
There are six different proficiency levels officially recognized by the Common European Framework of References for Languages, which translate into six different CILS certification exams and, subsequently, six CILS diplomas, that are valid throughout the world and never expire..The CILS exams (A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2) can be taken by anyone who might be interested, students and/or professionals.
Candidates may take more than one diploma (e.g. after an A2 certificate you can take the exam again to get a superior level certificate). Candidates who do not pass the entire exam in one session have 3 attempts (18 months) left to retake the parts that they have not passed. They will pay the fee only for the portion of the test they have failed. This option is not conceded to the candidates taking the B1 Cittadinanza exam.
CILS EXAMS LEVELS:

C1 advanced; C2 proficiency (PROFICIENT USER OF THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE)
