The CELI Impatto examination comprises three sections, which evaluate the following skills at a basic beginner level A1: reading comprehension, writing, listening, and speaking. The examination is divided into a written component (that includes the reading comprehension and the writing sections and lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes) and an oral component (that includes both the speaking and the listening comprehension sections and lasts approximately 5-6 minutes). The CELI certification does not expire.
Capitalization System
Both the written and oral parts of the exam can be capitalized: if the candidate does not achieve a sufficient overall score in one of the two parts, they have the option to retain the successfully completed partial component for a period of one year. Therefore, they have the next three exam sessions available to retake the insufficient part.
