Description

More than 90 candidates from NSW and the ACT sat for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek Language exams, held at Macquarie University on 19-21 May. The School of International Studies is the largest examination centre in the Southern Hemisphere and serves as the only certified Examination Centre for the Greek language certificate in NSW by the Centre for Greek Language (CGL) in Thessaloniki since 2022. The Certificate of Attainment in Greek is the only official state certification by the Greek Ministry for Education, Religious Affairs and Sports confirming the knowledge of Greek as a foreign/second language at six levels, corresponding to the Common European Framework (CEFR) levels. It is recognized by all member states of the European Union, and by NESA (New South Wales Education Standards Authority).

Dr Koromvokis shared that this year's candidates came with some truly amazing Greek language stories. One of them was Dr Matt Baker, Associate Dean, International Partnerships and Scientia Associate Professor in the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences at UNSW, who sat the B1 exam. A keen fencer for many years, Dr Baker came second to the recent Australian National Fencing Tournament held in Sydney. Despite his demanding schedule, he committed himself to preparing for and sitting the B1 exam
