If you want to change your short term Permesso di Soggiorno into a long term Carta di Soggiorno, you will need to get pass an A2 exam<\/b>  indicating that you have achieved a basic level in the Italian language. A2 is Advanced Beginner. It is to demonstrate that you can successfully interact in normal day to day activities. NOTE: If you take one of the online placement tests to rate yourself they are typically just a grammar test. The A2 exam is typically more informal. (see below<\/a>) <\/span><\/p>\n

The B2 Test for Citizenship<\/b> is more in depth and will test you on: Listening Comprehension. Reading Comprehension. Writing Level and Oral Presentation. You will need to know your grammar because you will need to write and speak in a competent manner, but it is not the only testing criteria. <\/span><\/p>\n

Only the following 4 institutions recognised by the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Education may issue the B2 certificate: <\/span>
–    The University for Foreigners of Siena issues the CILS, Certificate of Italian as a Foreign Language<\/span>
http:\/\/cils.unistrasi.it\/ <\/a><\/span>
–    The University for Foreigners of Perugia issues the CELI, Certificate for the Italian Language<\/span>
http:\/\/www.cvcl.it\/categorie\/categoria-64 <\/a><\/span>
–    The University of Rome 3 issues 4 certificates, A2 base.IT, B1 ele.IT, B2 int.IT, C2 \u2013IT<\/span>
http:\/\/www.certificazioneitaliano.uniroma3.it\/ <\/a><\/span>
–    The Dante Alighieri Society issues the PLIDA, Dante Alighieri Italian Language Project.<\/span>

There are many local testing centers scattered through Italy. Typically they are in the larger cities. The costs you would expect will be 30 to 40 Euro for the exam. <\/span><\/p>\n

DO I NEED TO TAKE A COURSE?<\/h2>\n

No, you do not need to take a course. You can study on your own or however works for you. One thing to remember is that there are a number of language schools  that will give you a certificate saying you completed a course. This is not an A2 certificate. The courses are well worth taking, just be aware that you will still need to take the official exam. Many municipalities offer courses for foreigners. Typically they will set up their schedules so that the course will end just before one of the exam dates and they will help you get scheduled to take the exam at a local testing center.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW TO TAKE THE EXAM<\/h2>\n

You can go to school that will offer a course and is also authorized to administer the exam. Most of the municipalities that offer language classes for foreigners will also help you schedule the exam. You can also go to a local Patronato who will help you sign up for the exam. You can also schedule it yourself. See below for the step by step instructions on how to do this. <\/span><\/p>\n

WHEN CAN YOU TAKE THE EXAM?<\/h2>\n

The exam is typically given quarterly. The schools schedule a course that is designed to lead into the exam. <\/span><\/p>\n
