The learner is capable of, for example, attending a university course in Portuguese or working in a country where Portuguese is the official language.C1DAPLE – Diploma avan\u00e7ado de portugu\u00eas l\u00edngua estrangeira[9]It  certifies  that  the  speaker is  capable  of  interacting  in  a  varied  range  of  less  predictable communicative situations  in  contexts  where,  for  example,  Portuguese  is  simultaneously  the language  of  everyday  communication,  the  language  used  at  work  and  the  language  used  in teaching. Some difficulties  may still occur when the language is used idiomatically or contains cultural references.B2DIPLE – Diploma interm\u00e9dio de portugu\u00eas l\u00edngua estrangeira[10]It  certifies  that  the  learner  is  capable  of  interacting  in  a  number  of  everyday  work  and  study communicative  situations  that require  mostly  a  predictable  use  of  the  language.  This  level allows  the  speaker  to  work  in  contexts  where  Portuguese  is  the  language  of  work.  In  the context  where  Portuguese  is  simultaneously  the  language  of  work  and  the  language  of communication  the  speaker  may  still  experience  many  difficulties. A  certified  DIPLE  speaker may attend academic courses in contexts where Portuguese is the language of teaching.B1DEPLE – Diploma elementar de portugu\u00eas l\u00edngua estrangeira[11]It certifies that the speaker is capable of interacting in a limited range of predictable everyday communicative situations in private, professional, and educational contexts.A2CIPLE – Certificado inicial de portugu\u00eas l\u00edngua estrangeira[12]It   certifies   that   the   speaker   is   capable   of   interacting   in   a   limited   range   of   everyday communicative situations. In the professional and academic domains, the users are capable of interacting in situations that require a limited level of proficiency in Portuguese.A1ACESSO – Certificado acesso ao portugu\u00eas[13]It  certifies  that  the  speaker  is  capable  of  interacting  in  a  very  limited  range  of  everyday communicative  situations  and  satisfying  the  most  basic  needs  of  communication  in  private, public and professional domains.Test Format[edit]There are four parts of evaluation in every level that tests all four major language abilities – reading, writing, listening, and speaking. There is also an additional part called “Compet\u00eancia Estrutural” that appears on only the DIPLE, DAPLE, and DUPLE tests.[14][15][16] The weight and amount of time allocated for each section varies by level.Language AbilityRequired Tasks[4][16]Compreens\u00e3o da Leitura (Reading Comprehension)In this part, candidates are required to read and understand the written information given and answer questions based on what they have read.Produ\u00e7\u00e3o e Intera\u00e7\u00e3o Escritas (Written Production and Interaction)In this part, candidates are required to fill out forms and enter personal information, and write out understandable and clear informational texts on matters related to private domains, such as private letters or notes.Compet\u00eancia Estrutural (Structural Competence)In this part, candidates are required to fill in blanks with appropriate words or re-organize text in various ways, and also transform any sentences that need changes.Compreens\u00e3o Oral (Oral Comprehension)In this part, candidates are required to listen to and understand simple interactions or conversations on various matters related to public and private concerns and answer questions based on what they have heard.Produ\u00e7\u00e3o e Intera\u00e7\u00e3o Orais (Oral Production and Interaction)In this part, candidates are required to take part in simple, brief communicative conversation, speaking on matters related to professional, public, and private events or concerns.
