The Consulate General of Greece in Sydney have opened registrations for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek for the 2021 exams.
The Certificate of Attainment in Greek is the only national certificate officially recognised by the Greek Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs, that confirms the knowledge of Greek as a foreign/second language at 6 levels.
Established in 1998, The Certificate of Attainment in Greek responds to a persisting request of all learners of Greek as a Second/Foreign Language in Greece and abroad for a state certificate of attainment.
The examinations will take place on the 4th October 2021 for Levels A1 and C2, on the 05th October 2021 for Levels A2 and C1, on the 6th October 2021 for Level B1 and on the 7th October 2021 for Level B2. The candidates will be notified for the exact location and time of their examination in due course.
Candidates who have reached the age of 8 at 31 October 2021 have the right to participate. In particular, children 8-12 years old (8 years of age and not older than 12 years old on 31 October 2021) have the right to participate in A1(8-12 yr) examinations. There is no other age restriction. However, candidates under the age of 16 should be advised not to take part in the B2, C1 and C2 examinations, because the content of the examinations requires knowledge and experience that the younger candidates do not have.
For the candidates to complete the online registration (or paper where applicable), they are required to deposit the examination fees. For Levels A1, A2 and B1 the fees are 65 Euros each. For Levels B2, C1 and C2 the fees are 73 Euros each.
The examinations are completed by more than 100 candidates from NSW each year, with certificates awarded to successful candidates by the Consul General of Greece at a ceremony hosted by the University of Sydney.
