FAQ
1. Do you provide an official certificate at the end of the courses?
No, we don’t. We only provide a Lisbon Project Diploma which can be attached to your CV if you are looking for work or can help as proof of the course you attended. However, this diploma is not official and is not valid for nationality.
At the end of the A2 course, the students who pass our A2 final exam may get a chance to take the official exam with Qualifica for a reduced exam fee. This is not guaranteed, and the exam date may not be right after the end of the course. Also, the reception of the certificates may take months. However, this certificate IS official and valid for nationality.
2. Do you offer fully online courses?
No, we don’t. The next round of courses will either be fully in person or hybrid, i.e. one lesson online and two lessons in person. Do not miss the next information session for more details.
