About the Maturità Professionale Exam
The Esame di Stato conclusivo del secondo ciclo di istruzione per gli Istituti Professionali (commonly known as Maturità Professionale) is Italy's official secondary school-leaving state examination for students graduating from vocational institutes under the reform enacted by Legislative Decree no. 61/2017 and regulated by the annual ministerial ordinance (MIM Ordinanza Ministeriale n. 54 del 26 marzo 2026). Successful candidates earn the legal title of 'Diploma di Istruzione Professionale', granting full access to university degree programs, Higher Technical Institutes (ITS Academy), and qualified professional employment. The examination consists of two written papers—a standardized national Italian language and literature paper (Prima Prova) and an indirizzo-specific technical-vocational project or case study (Seconda Prova, combining a national framework part with an operational portion drafted by the school commission)—followed by a comprehensive multidisciplinary oral colloquium that evaluates civic education and the student's internship experience (Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e per l'Orientamento - PCTO).

The Maturità Professionale is Italy's official state examination concluding the five-year upper secondary vocational cycle (Istituti Professionali) reformed under Legislative Decree no. 61/2017. Graduates obtain a state vocational diploma (Diploma di Istruzione Professionale) recognized across the European Union at EQF Level 4, qualifying them for direct entry into specialized technical professions, ITS Academy higher technical programs, or university degree courses.
How is the official examination structured under MIM Ordinanza Ministeriale n. 54 del 26 marzo 2026?
The exam comprises the national Italian Prima Prova, an indirizzo-specific Seconda Prova built from its national framework and commission component, and Colloquio Orale. The oral duration is set by the commission and, in 2026, begins with a brief candidate reflection before four designated disciplines, civic education, formazione scuola-lavoro, and the written papers.
How is scoring and grading calculated for the Maturità Professionale?
The final grade is expressed out of 100 points, requiring a minimum of 60/100 to pass.
