The registration for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek 2020 is now open.

The Certificate of Attainment in Greek is the only national, officially recognised by the Hellenic Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs certificate that confirms the knowledge of Greek as a foreign/second language at 6 levels, starting from A1 for children 8-12 years old to C2 for adults.

Candidates can register online for the Certificate of Attainment 2020 following the link below:

http://www.greek-language.gr/certification/application/index.html 

This online environment gives candidates access to the May 2020 application and questionnaire. It is strongly advised that candidates register online. However, if this is not possible, candidates can apply on a paper application form. Attached are the following documents with informative material and the paper application form.

1. The application form
2. Examination dates and fees
3. Questionnaire for completion by candidates (the questionnaire will be used for statistical research              purposes by the Centre for the Greek Language)
4. Questionnaire for candidates 8-12 years old (Level A1)
5. Price list for past papers

Welcome to the 2020 academic year

6/2/2020

Dear friends and colleagues,

I would like to welcome you all back to another academic year. I would like to acknowledge once again in this welcoming message the contribution of all Greek language teachers during 2019, and express my hope for an educationally rewarding 2020.

I would also like to extend a special welcome to a new teacher seconded from Greece, Mrs Maria Mouratidou, whom some colleagues might have already met in their schools during Week 1.

Please accept my very best wishes for the start of the 2020 school year. I am looking forward to working with you all again building on past achievements and planning new projects such as the 2020 Greek language conference.

Warm regards,
Maria
