What is Celpe-bras?
Celpe-bras is the exam to obtain the Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese Language for Foreigners. It is the only certificate of proficiency in Portuguese as a foreign language officially recognized by the government of Brazil. Internationally, it is accepted by companies and educational institutions as proof of competence in Portuguese. In Brazil, it is required by universities for admission to undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as for validation of foreign professional degrees who want to work in the country.

How does it work?
The exam has 2 parts: Group Writing and Individual Speaking/Listening

The evaluation comes from the performance in tasks and face-to-face interaction that require reading and listening comprehension. On top of that, the exam requires different writing production as article, advertise, descriptions and other.

That includes day-by-day language practices for many different situations a person can be involved in while being in Brazil.

The oral evaluation includes hearing comprehension, and the ability to fluently interact in Portuguese, using pronunciation and correct vocabulary.
