This allows students interested in studying this language at different levels to do so with recognized quality and to take official CAPLE exams. The CAPLE system recognizes Portuguese as a foreign language within the agreement between the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture with the Camões Institute. The levels taught also conform to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which are A1/A2, B1/B2, and C1/C2, referred to as Basic, Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and University levels.

The Portuguese as a Foreign Language Assessment Center (CAPLE) was created by a Convention signed on March 2, 1999, between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Education of Portugal, represented respectively by the Camões Institute and the Department of Basic Education, and the University of Lisbon. They agreed to recognize the establishment of an Evaluation and Certification System for Portuguese as a Foreign Language.

CAPLE represents the Portuguese language in the ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe), making all certificates/diplomas recognized throughout the European Community.

With the objectives of assessing and recognizing general language competencies, the Examinations Center at FRAH conducts exams for obtaining the following certificates/diplomas:
