DITALS is a professional qualification offered by the University for Foreigners of Siena for teachers (or prospective teachers) of Italian as a foreign language. DITALS certificates are graded according to levels of competence, allowing candidates to prepare for those levels which best suit their professional needs.
The DITALS Certification attests that holders have the theoretical and practical skills necessary to work as L2 Italian teachers.

DITALS exams
It is possible to take the DITALS exams Base, Level I and Level II at the IIC Melbourne.
How to apply
The application form must be requested to IIC and sent it back to IIC Melbourne with a photocopy of an identification document (such as passport or driver’s license) by the deadlines specified for each session.
