The certification of CAPLE has the approval of the University of Lisbon and it is recognised in Portugal, at a state level, by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (through the Camões, I.P.), by the Ministry of Education (through Direção-Geral da Educação) and through the Ministry of Internal Administration (thought The Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service – SEF, Portuguese acronym).  In Portugal and abroad, it is recognised by public and private bodies in different sectors of activity.

 

ENROLMENT FOR EXAMS

Enrolment for a CAPLE exam takes place in two stages:

Stage 1: The candidate must fill out the enrolment form, available online on the CAPLE website, and pay the corresponding fee on the same day. They will then receive a code that will allow them to access their exam results.
Stage 2: The candidate must deliver a copy of their original identification document (Citizen Card, Passport or Residence Permit) to LAPE in person or by email to portbabelium@elach.uminho.pt. This will be the document they need to present on the day of the exam.

PUBLICATION OF RESULTS AND COLLECTION OF CERTIFICATES / DIPLOMAS

The results of the exams will be published on the CAPLE website no later than 31 working days from the date the exams are received by CAPLE. To access your results, you must use the code you received after confirming your enrolment.

Certificates or diplomas will be available from LAPE within 15 to 20 working days of the results being published. Certificates can be retrived in person (or by someone presenting a power of attorney from the candidate authorising them to do so) or sent to the candidate by post mail. If you choose the latter option, you must hand in a stamped A4 envelope on the day of the exam, already filled in with your name and postal address, to the LAPE contact person and acknowledge the receipt of the certificate by e-mail. LAPE cannot be held accountable for lost certificates sent by post mail.
