With a minimum score of 18/30 in each of the four tests, the certificate is immediately issued; it is nevertheless possible, in case of mistakes, to keep the scores where you obtained sufficient points for a year and try, in this period of time, to overcome the exams for other skills in further sessions.

In the process of learning a foreign language to properly prepare for the exam, it is very important not only the number of tuition hours, but also and mostly the type of course that you decide to attend.
If you have limited time, or have to combine the PLIDA exam peparation courses with you work, we would like to suggest you to choose an individual course: in this way, the lessons will be organized according to your needs and availabilities, also the teacher will deal exclusively with your linguistic necessities, by correcting and improving your weaknesses. Our individual courses are the solution chosen by the majority of our students, as they provide the best results in a very short time
Always keep in mind, in choosing the most suitable course for you, that a week of individual course corresponds to approximately one month in a group course
At the Institute Galilei we strongly suggest to begin the PLIDA exam preparation courses about two months before the test, so to organize the course in the time the students have at their disposal in the best and most suitable way.
