The Celpe-Bras (Certificado de Proficiência em Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros) Exam is the only official test of Brazilian Portuguese as a Second Language recognized by the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC). The Celpe-Bras is a requirement for admission of international students to Brazilian universities, and it is also widely accepted internationally as proof of Portuguese language competence. The exam consists of an intensive written part, including oral and reading comprehension, and an oral interview.
Celpe-Bras exam takes place twice per year, in April and October. Registrations may be done during February, March, August, and September.

The course aims, corresponding to the level, to prepare you to deal with everyday situations, satisfy basic needs, understand information, and discuss even tricky subjects articulately.
“I went to Brazil Ahead to prepare for a trip to Brazil. The progress I experienced in one month was excellent. I went from speaking nothing to being ready to live and travel in Brazil on my own. Within my first week in Brazil I was conducting interviews in Portuguese with leaders in the non-profit and business sectors. I recommend Cris because she’s passionate about helping you learn Portuguese, and because she’ll do what she can to make your time in Brazil rewarding and enjoyable. She is a first-class instructor with successful methods. If you want to learn Portuguese, Brazil Ahead is the place.”
