CILS, CELI, PLIDA and the A2 test compared, with pricesCPIA Bari: community-reported quirks
Per the community in the south, Bari included, it is worth confirming session dates in advance and keeping a time buffer: centre replies sometimes take a while. The free A2 test via a CPIA is usually passed without trouble, while people prepare separately for the B1 for citizenship.
CPIA Bari as learners describe it
In Bari I wrote to the centre in advance to check the B1 dates, and it paid off - the reply did not come at once, but the time buffer saved everything.
