What it actually is
The state body responsible for teaching Portuguese abroad runs self-study and tutored eLearning courses aligned to both the CEFR and Portugal's own QuaREPE framework, along with workplace-Portuguese tracks and a network of Portuguese Language Centres. Being the official institution matters if you want certification or a syllabus that matches what Portuguese schools teach. It is bureaucratic to navigate, courses are paid and run in enrolment windows, and the platform feels institutional rather than modern.
