If you are not a first-time PLIDA candidate, please do not submit this form and contact us, as the cost may be lower. FAQ What is PLIDA and why take it? PLIDA (Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri) is the official Italian-language certificate issued by Società Dante Alighieri and recognised by the Italian Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Education. It covers all CEFR levels (A1–C2) and is accepted for university admission, work permits and, at B1 level, for Italian citizenship. Full details are on the official site: https://plida.dante.global Do I need a preparation course? A course is not compulsory, but we offer an intensive B1-level workshop that will help you master the exact exam format and timing. Search for the PLIDA Exam Preparation course on our Learn Italian page or paste this in your browser: https://www.dantealighieri.com.au/service-page/plida-exam-preparation How will I receive my results? As soon as your marks are formally recorded by the Central Office, you will receive an automatic email inviting you to log in to your personal area on dante.global to view them. The online portal replaces individual notifications, the centre does not send results to each candidate. How do I get my certificate? As soon as your scores are officially recorded, a digital certificate appears in your Personal Area, ready for download or printing. The personal data on the certificate are exactly those provided at enrolment. If you would like a hard-copy certificate, you can request one through your exam centre: the service costs €50 plus shipping. A PLIDA certificate is issued only if you pass all four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking); partial passes do not generate a certificate. Can I ask for my score to be reviewed? No. All marks and any decisions taken by the PLIDA Headquarters are final and not open to appeal. What happens if I don’t pass? If you fail one or more of the four skills, you have 18 months from your first full-exam registration to retake only the skills you missed, while the scores you already passed remain valid. You may attempt the make-up tests as many times as you like within that window. After 18 months, all previous scores expire and you must sit the entire exam again. When you register for a partial retake, you pay only the fee for each individual skill, not the full-exam fee—the current rates are listed in the annual PLIDA circular.

The Dante Alighieri Society of Sydney is the oldest Italian cultural institute in Australia, having been founded in 1896 by Dr Tommaso Fiaschi. About Us The Dante Alighieri Society Sydney is the oldest Italian cultural institute in Australia, having been founded in 1896 by Dr Tommaso Fiaschi, an eminent Italian, who migrated to Australia towards the end of the 1800s. The Sydney chapter of the Society saw the light only a few years after the first Società Dante Alighieri was founded in Rome in 1889, by a group of intellectuals led by the Nobel Prize-winning poet Giosuè Carducci. We are one of 460 societies operating worldwide, thanks to the voluntary work of people willing to promote the appreciation and understanding of the rich Italian culture, in all its forms and expressions. The main part of our mission is the organisation of cultural events together with Italian language courses, by strictly native-speaking teachers, with impeccable academic preparation. Since its foundation, the Dante Alighieri Society Sydney has operated thanks to professionals coming from different walks of life, but all with the same passion and love for Italian culture.
