CIC

The University for International Students of Perugia delivers the CIC - Certificato di Conoscenza dell'Italiano Commerciale (Knowledge of Business Italian Certificate ), which certifies that the holder's knowledge of the Italian language is adequate for that person to interact and work in business contexts.

This verification and evaluation system, which is the first of the sort in Italy, comprises a series of tests the aim of which is to reproduce the typical tasks and activities that a person actually working in a business environment in Italy would have to face, especially in company and organisational environments.

The texts used in the exams are authentic and the candidates are not only requested to demonstrate their linguistic competence, but also their capacity to interact and communicate effectively. Even though the subjects and contents selected all deal more or less with economic and commercial matters, no prior knowledge of specific technical sectors will be required of the candidate.

CIC users

The CIC is thus a very good means of verifying and evaluating their knowledge for a very large range of users:
- people who work or intend to work in international environments and who want to enhance their personal curriculum
- companies and organisations selecting personnel or those who wish to check the qualifications of their employees
- schools/universities with economic and business courses who want to survey or determine the level of knowledge of the Italian language for their own students.
