Levels
Your language ability may be described by a set of Levels. IH Palermo bases its levels on the CEF and ALTE system.
CEF (Common European Framework for Languages) uses short descriptors (descriptions of ability) to summarise your language competence. Your level will be tested before you join a course, unless you are new to the language, in which case you will be advised to join a Beginners' course.
