One World Italiano for Residence or Citizenship is a 12-month*, flexible Italian programme designed specifically to help you reach the official Italian language level required for your legal application.

Whether you need an official A2 (pre-intermediate) certificate for a residence permit or a B1 (intermediate) certificate for Italian citizenship, every part of this programme is designed with one clear goal: to prepare you to pass the exam with confidence.

How the programme works

You study Italian through two integrated elements:

• Structured video courses that guide you step by step through grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking, with your entire study path actively monitored and supported by our teaching team through our integrated learning platform.

• One-to-one lessons and small group conversation classes with a teacher to practise, correct mistakes and build speaking confidence

An accredited exam centre, not an app or a tutor

One World Italiano is an official CILS exam centre of the University for Foreigners of Siena.
The CILS certificate you obtain is officially recognised by the Italian government for citizenship, residence permits and other legal procedures.

As an official exam centre, we know exactly what the exam tests, how it is assessed, and what candidates must be able to do to pass. This means your programme is aligned with the real CILS exam requirements — not generic Italian.

* Faster completion is possible if you need to meet an exam or visa deadline.
