Certificate of Attainment in Modern Greek
The Hellenic American Union has been formally accredited by the Ministry of Education and the Centre for the Greek Language as an examination center for the Examination for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek.
Examinations for the Certificate of Attainment in Modern Greek
Examinations are held once a year in midMay. Registration takes place from the beginning of February until March.
A candidate is tested at one of four levels of linguistic proficiency and assessed in four skills, namely, listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The candidate must succeed in all four skills. Failing even one skill means failing the whole examination.
Detailed examination results are sent to examination centers in late July and report which skills the candidate has passed or failed.
The Centre for the Greek Language sends the certificates to the Hellenic American Union by the end of September. The Hellenic American Union then sends the certificates to the address indicated on the candidates’ application forms.
