At SIAL.courses we are extremely proud to play an active part in the vibrant Italian community in London.
Among other initiatives, we present and support external events, in collaboration with Italian and international partners:
Our ongoing collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in London
Since September 2018 we have been offering Italian Language and culture courses organised with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in London and its School Office.
With the substantial help of funding from Italy’s Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale (MAECI) we will be delivering integrated courses and extra-curricular courses within the consular district of London, South of England and Wales for the school year 2024-2025.
Unistrasi and CILS certification
Our SIAL.school is an officially approved examination centre for the CILS exam, which certifies the Italian language skills of candidates.
The CILS Exam (Certificazione di Italiano come Lingua Straniera, Certification of Italian as a Foreign Language) is a proficiency examination to prove competence in the Italian language.
The Università per Stranieri di Siena is responsible for the exam papers, has established the competences standards in accordance to the European Framework for languages, and sets the dates of examination.
