Applications are now open for participation in the exams for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek, the only national certificate officially recognised by the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, which certifies knowledge of Greek as a foreign/second language, starting from level A1, for children 8-12 years old, up to level C2 for adults.
Candidates who wish to participate in exams for all levels must have reached the age of eight by 31 May, 2023. Additionally, candidates for A1 level exams (8-12 years) must not be older than 12 years old on 31 May, 2023. It’s recommended that candidates under the age of 16 years avoid taking the examination at levels B2, C1 and C2, because the content of exam items requires knowledge and experience which younger candidates may not possess.
Registrations will be processed online through the electronic registration system available via www.greek-language.gr/certification/application/index.html
