Celpe-Bras is the Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese for Foreigners, awarded by Brazil’s Ministry of Education. It is the only such certificate officially recognised by the Brazilian government.
The exam is taken by learners of Portuguese who wish to gauge their progress or provide proof of their level of proficiency; students planning to study at a higher-education institution in Brazil; as well as professionals who wish to have an academic certificate from their own country validated in Brazil, or who need to register with professional bodies such as the Brazilian Federal Council of Medicine.
There are four levels of certification: intermediate, high intermediate, advanced and high advanced. The exam consists of listening, reading, oral and written exercises.
