Format, the 72/120 written mark, the 22/40 oral, and the one-year carry-over are on the CELI 2 page.
Quick Answer
As of 6 November 2026, the next rows on CVCL’s calendar that include adult CELI 2 (B1) are the six 2027 sessions below: three general CELI dates (CELI 2 included) and three CELI 2 i cittadinanza dates that run only at authorised centres in Italy. You apply through the exam centre you select — CVCL does not take your form by post except for the Perugia-at-university path described on the official registration page — and the centre sets the fee, room and time. Centres may close registration before the CVCL deadline; confirm early.
The November 2026 general CELI sitting was 11 November 2026, and the CVCL registration deadline was 9 October 2026. As of 6 November 2026 that window has closed.

How registration works
- Choose an authorised centre — CVCL publishes downloadable Italy and world centre lists on the registration page (links on that page, not copied here). CELI 2 i cittadinanza runs only at Italian centres on the dates marked above.
- Apply through that centre’s process. CVCL states you enrol at the centre you pick; you do not mail the form to CVCL headquarters, except candidates sitting in Perugia at the university, who follow the separate path linked from the same page.
- Pay and confirm the fee with the centre. The amount is set in the agreement between that centre and CVCL; CVCL does not publish one worldwide price. The centre must show the exam fee separately from courses or administrative extras.
- Ask your centre for your matricola at least 20 days after the registration deadline, and keep the same number for later sittings.
