Both are official CAPLE certifications from the University of Lisbon. Which one you need depends on your situation.
Sound familiar?
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
Every session is built around what actually appears in the exam — real past materials, no filler.
We start from zero — core vocabulary, essential grammar, and the sounds of European Portuguese. Focused on what appears in the exam, not textbook filler.
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.
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.
We build on your existing A2 base — expanding vocabulary, strengthening grammar, and getting you comfortable with longer and more complex Portuguese.
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.
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
"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."
