Which exam do you need?

CIPLE and DIPLE — what's the difference

Both are official CAPLE certifications from the University of Lisbon. Which one you need depends on your situation.

Most common
CIPLE
A2 · Elementary Portuguese
The standard requirement for Portuguese citizenship through naturalization. Tests everyday situations — shops, appointments, basic conversations.

The 6-week programme (€600) takes you from zero to ready for this exam. No prior Portuguese needed.
Higher level
DIPLE
B1 · Intermediate Portuguese
Required for some work visas and professional certifications, or chosen by people who want a stronger proof of language ability.

The 8-week programme (€750) takes you from A2 level through to B1 and exam-ready. You need some basic Portuguese to start.

Why people fail — and why you won't

Most people who fail CIPLE don't fail because their Portuguese is bad. They fail for very specific, fixable reasons.

"

"I studied on my own but had no idea which parts of the exam actually matter most. I passed reading but failed the oral."

"

"I understand Portuguese fine in real life but the exam format threw me completely. I froze when the recording played."

"

"My lawyer told me to prepare but couldn't tell me how. I didn't know where to start and ran out of time."

The programmes

Two paths, one goal: pass the exam

Every session is built around what actually appears in the exam — real past materials, no filler.

CIPLE · 6 weeks · €600
Weeks 1–2
Building the basics

We start from zero — core vocabulary, essential grammar, and the sounds of European Portuguese. Focused on what appears in the exam, not textbook filler.

Weeks 3–4
Listening, Reading & Writing

Working through the CIPLE format with real past exam material. You learn the structure, the patterns, and the fastest way to find correct answers under time pressure.

Weeks 5–6
Oral + Full Mock Exam

Intensive oral practice in the exact CIPLE dialogue format. Week 6 is a full mock exam under real conditions, with detailed feedback on every section.

DIPLE · 8 weeks · €750
Weeks 1–3
Consolidating A2 → B1

We build on your existing A2 base — expanding vocabulary, strengthening grammar, and getting you comfortable with longer and more complex Portuguese.

Weeks 4–6
All Four Exam Sections

Reading, writing, listening, and speaking — each worked through with real DIPLE past materials. Specific attention to the written tasks and oral interaction formats that B1 requires.

Weeks 7–8
Exam Simulation + Final Prep

Two full mock exams with timed conditions and detailed feedback. We identify exactly what still needs work and sharpen it before the real thing.

What clients say

Real results

★★★★★

"Cédric helped me pass my IGCSE Portuguese at my international school in Loulé. I scored above 72% — a grade 6, nearly a 7 in the British system. Without Cédric, I would not have succeeded."
