Exam Preparation Courses for the Examinations for Attainment in Modern Greek conducted by the Centre for the Greek Language

These courses offer students the opportunity to prepare for the nationally recognised language exams and their main aim is to cover all necessary skills and techniques required for successfully dealing with the different parts of the exam.

The syllabus content is adult-orientated, focusing on the adult language learners’ needs for quick and immediate familiarisation with the exam format and the language skills required to successfully pass an examination.

The Certificate of Attainment in Greek:

• provides any user of Greek with an expert and objective opinion regarding the level of their knowledge and language skills
• serves as proof of the successful candidate’s level of attainment in Greek in the work market
• is a requirement for the practice of various professions in Greece
• allows citizens of European Union member states to participate in the examination of the Supreme Council of Personnel Selection (ΑΣΕΠ) for civil service positions (The Supreme Council specifies the required level of certificate in every announcement)
• at Level B2 allows foreigners to register at a Greek institution of higher education, in case they do not have a Greek secondary education certificate (M.R. 152/Β6/1504/30-5-2001 – Official Government Gazette 659 vol.Β΄)
• at Level C2 allows citizens of European Union member states to prove complete knowledge and fluent use of the Greek language and thus be employed in a Greek institution of higher education.

The exam prep course can be chosen in addition to a General Greek as a Foreign Language course or as standalone programme, providing flexibility to those wishing to attend such a course.

Apart from improving general language competency and systematic preparation of all skills required for the Greek language examination, all exam prep classes include:
