What is the Certificate of Attainment in Greek?
Up to 1998 the only certificates of attainment in Greek which were recognised by the Greek state were those issued by the School of Modern Greek of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and by its counterpart in the School of Arts at the University of Athens. These certificates have been necessary for the registration of foreigners to Greek institutions of higher education. Any learners of Greek who happen to be in Greece may participate in the examinations held at the two universities. No provision had been made for anyone living abroad before May 1999.
The Certificate of Attainment in Greek which was established in November 1998 (Presidential Decree 363/98) by the Ministry of Education responds to a persisting request of all learners of Greek in Greece and abroad for a state certificate of attainment available at various levels. The Centre of Greek Language, specifically the Division for the Support and Promotion of the Greek Language, has been assigned the exclusive and overall responsibility for the examination procedure through which the certificate of attainment in Greek may be awarded and has been conducting the examinations since 1999.
