FIDE TEST
The FIDE Test assesses knowledge of the Italian language; it was developed on behalf of the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) and is valid for permit and naturalisation applications in Switzerland.
The test consists of an oral part (“Speaking and Understanding’”` and a written part (‘Reading and Writing’). The tasks in the test range from levels A1 to B1 (beginner / intermediate), and refer to different everyday situations in Switzerland, e.g. at the workplace, in the doctor’s office or in municipal offices.
