BCCE™ | Examinations & Certifications

Basic Communication Certificate in English (BCCE™)

The BCCE™ provides recognized certification that the holder can communicate at B1 level in English, as outlined by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). It is administered internationally and is developed by the Hellenic American University, a non-profit institution of higher education chartered in the state of New Hampshire, USA, in cooperation with external experts and bodies both in Europe and the United States.

The BCCE™ is ideally suited for adolescents and adults who wish to demonstrate that they can successfully manage essential communicative tasks in the English language, but who may not yet be ready for an intermediate-level language examination. Candidates who are successful in the BCCE™ examination obtain a certificate which documents their level of English for educational, occupational, public or personal purposes.

The BCCE™ is officially recognized in Greece by the state (Supreme Council for Civil Personnel Selection) as a B1 level certification of English language competence. The BCCE™ certificate can also be used as proof of basic language competence for obtaining employment in the private sector and for further studies.
