CAPLE
test is a system of assessment of Portuguese as a Foreign
Language designed by the Portuguese Language Testing Centre
of the University of Lisbon for non-native speakers of Portuguese.
Based on an agreement signed with the Centre in 2004, Macao
Polytechnic Institute has become an examination center of
the CAPLE test. The agreement states that MPI-Portuguese
Language Testing Centre will be holding the CAPLE test in
May, July or November every year, depending on the number
of candidates. There are five levels of Portuguese as a
Foreign Language, with each of them recognised by a certificate.
