Certificate of Attainment in Greek 2022
Examinations for the Greek Learning Certificate May 2021 have been postponed due to Covid-19
Dear All,
As you all know, the exams for the certification of the Greek language were set for 18,19 and 20 of May 2021 and the registration period has ended.
The global situation, due to the pandemic of coronavirus and its rapid spread in Greece and the world, imposes the testing provider (Centre For The Greek Language) the need to redefine the original planning and postpone the May 2021 exams.
Our priority is the health and safety of the candidates involved and our staff.
Regarding registrations:
- Applications, where candidates have paid the testing fees, will be automatically transferred to the new testing period which will soon be set and announced in order to replace the one that has been postponed.
- Applications being processed and applicants have not yet paid the testing fees:
- Applicants may submit their exam fees by the end of March and have their application approved. Once approved their registration will be automatically transferred to the new testing period which will soon be set and announced in order to replace the one that has been postponed or
- wait for the opening of the new application period, for the new testing period which will replace the postponed one.
- Interest in applications for the new testing period: there will be a new registration period from June 1 to June 28, 2021, for which you will be informed in a timely manner through Testing Centre’s website.

- offers a standardized assessment of proficiency
- satisfies proficiency requirements for the practice of various professions in Greece, and the EU.
- a level C allows foreigners who do not possess a Greek secondary education, to register at a Greek institution of higher education
- a level D allows citizens of European Union member states to prove complete knowledge and fluent use of the Greek language.
- is equivalent to the English “Lower” and “Proficiency” diplomas of the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK, and the University of Michigan.
