Since its establishment in 1981, the Federation is administering Palso proficiency tests successfully in four languages.
LAAS (Language Attainment Assessment System) is a system that assesses proficiency in a foreign language.
Laas tests are recognized by the International Certificate Conference (I.C.C.), since they meet international standards.
Laas-Palso exams are conducted in a perfect and unimpeachable way due to our long experience which ensures excellence.
The goal of the Lass-Palso exams is to assess students’ knowledge of foreign languages in an objective and fair manner, based on modern scientific criteria. We also aim to reward positive and progressive approach towards learning a foreign language, to encourage students and to provide Language Schools with data regarding the performance of their students.
Please find below the test mark for each level
English Grades: Pass -Merit – Excellent
Italian Grades: Bene -Molto Bene – Ottimo
French Grades: Assez Bien -Bien – Très Bien
German Grades: Gut -Sehr gut – Ausgezeichnet
and the passing mark is 50% of the total score (individual scores offset).

After submitting his/her application, the candidate must get (10 days before the exams) from the local Palso association or LS, his/her Exam Participation Form, which includes all his/her details and Candidate Code, and the Candidate Instructions. Submitting an application to participate in exams for more than one level, during the same examination period, is the sole responsibility of the candidate as there is a possibility that the exams will take place at the same time.
