Italian course in Bologna - Private course or self-study

Italian language course in Bologna designed for professional use

Who this course is for

Are you a professional working in Bologna who needs Italian for meetings, emails or daily communication?

This course is designed for people who use Italian as a working tool, not as a hobby. You combine language learning with a demanding job, limited time and clear expectations.

We work with international professionals collaborating with Italian-speaking teams, expats managing relocation and daily life in Bologna, companies and HR teams requiring structured training with reporting, and professionals preparing for certifications such as CILS or PLIDA.

How learning is structured

The course combines private lessons with a structured learning system, so progress does not depend on irregular study habits or guesswork.

You follow a clear CEFR-based path (A1–C2) supported by a learning portal that connects lessons, materials and progress tracking.

• Private lessons focused on speaking, feedback and real situations
• Structured self-study for grammar, vocabulary and listening
• Monthly learning plan aligned with your work schedule

Your progress and weak points are tracked continuously, allowing lesson time to be used efficiently while self-study keeps progress stable between sessions.

Flexible planning around your work schedule

Lessons are scheduled around your professional availability in Bologna.

You can train before work, after work or during lunch breaks, and choose between online, in-person or hybrid lessons depending on your schedule.

If you travel for work or temporarily leave Bologna, you continue your course online without losing progress. Your learning path remains consistent thanks to our shared system and teacher network.

Example: Italian for project coordination in Bologna

A project manager working with local teams needed Italian for meetings and follow-ups.

The training combined weekly lessons with short structured self-study sessions focused on meeting language and email communication.

After several weeks, the learner was able to actively participate in meetings and write clear follow-up emails in Italian.

Example: combining CILS preparation with full-time work

An international professional in Bologna needed CILS B2 while working full-time.

The training included weekly lessons focused on speaking and writing correction, self-study modules adapted to exam formats, and a structured timeline aligned with the exam date.

By the final phase, the learner had a clear exam strategy, improved written accuracy and structured speaking responses.
