About Us

Centro Europeu de Línguas is a private and entirely independent training entity, with 100% Portuguese share capital, established in 1982. We operate through our school in Lisbon/Areeiro and a network of trainers across the country.

The Centro Europeu de Línguas is a DGERT-certified training institution and is experienced in organising and documenting all stages of the training process.

We provide official and transparent certification through the SIGO system.

HISTORY

At the Centro Europeu de Línguas, since 1982, we have focused on language training for adults, particularly for those who need to learn for professional reasons. Inspired by the Council of Europe, we align our methods with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, promoting effective communication and transparent certification of language skills.

We offer courses tailored to each student’s needs, enabling rapid and effective progress both socially and professionally. This pioneering approach has made us leaders in professional language training in Portugal.

We collaborate with companies and institutions, offering in-person training and blended solutions that combine traditional classes with b-learning, yielding excellent results. Our experience in European programmes and the use of innovative technology, including e-learning, ensures modern and effective training.

After the pandemic, we are ready to continue offering remote classes via platforms like Zoom and Teams, with the same quality as our in-person sessions.

LEVEL SYSTEM

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages provides for the standardization of language skills levels throughout Europe, making it clearer and more transparent to identify the level of knowledge and active communication skills in foreign languages of all our students.
