Language Certification Courses

Our Language Certification courses are specifically designed to offer a fast-track, focused pathway to the CILS B1c (formerly B1-Cittadinanza) and CELI B1 exams, both of which are officially recognized by the Italian government to obtain Italian citizenship.

This training program consists of four courses at different, progressively advanced levels, starting from the lowest level, A1, up to the highest, B1 Part 2. Upon completing the program, our students can attempt the language certification exam* required to obtain Italian citizenship.

Progression chart showing language certification exam levels: A1, A2, B1 part 1, B1 part 2.

*Bridge Italia is an exclusively online language school, and therefore it is not an official testing center for language certification exams. It only offers specific courses to help students prepare for them.
