The ECL Certificate at Level B2 in Polish or English is officially recognized in Poland as valid proof of language proficiency for university admission. This applies to international students enrolling in higher education programs taught in Polish or English.

The Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of 30 July 2025 (https://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/download.xsp/WDU20250001045/O/D20251045.pdf) lists the ECL Certificate among the officially accepted documents for proving language proficiency.

The 2nd International ECL Conference took place on 21-22 June 2026 in Sousse, Tunisia, hosted by the International Institute for Studies and Cooperation (IISC). Participants included exam centre leaders, examiners, teachers, and organisers from four continents, gathering for professional development and exchange. >>>>>

From February 3 to 5, 2025, an examiner training session took place in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The training covered both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. After the theoretical sessions, the participants had the opportunity to try themselves in mock exams. To conclude the program, the participants observed real exams, allowing them to gain firsthand experience of the examination process.

Im November 2024 absolvierten die ECL-Prüferinnen und Prüfer der mündlichen Kommunikation an der ECL-Prüfungsstelle in Taschkent, Usbekistan, eine eintägige Vertiefungsschulung vor Ort. Im Mittelpunkt der Schulung stand die Einführung in die Prüfungsplattform Proexam. Die Teilnehmenden konnten ihre Kenntnisse in der Praxis anwenden, was zu einer reibungslosen Durchführung der mündlichen Prüfungen beitrug.

After two years of language exam amnesty, last year the Hungarian Parliament approved an amendment to the Higher Education Act to remove the statutory language exam requirements for awarding degrees.

Prior to the February examinations, a one-day in-depth training course was held at our ECL examination site in Hanoi, Vietnam, with the ECL oral communication examiners. The focus was on the use of the PROEXAM examination platform. The participants had the opportunity to apply their knowledge in practice, making it possible for the oral examinations to run smoothly.

The ECL headquarters is pleased to announce that a new format for ECL certificates will be introduced starting in June 2023. This updated design offers advanced security features, such as watermarks, elements only visible under UV light, an iris print, and a guilloche pattern frame. Additionally, the ECL certificates include a QR code that provides confirmation of the certificate's authenticity when scanned. Furthermore, there is still the option to validate certificates using the following link: https://exam.eclexam.eu/validate/.

In April 2022 there will be ECL exams in Cameroon for the first time. For a start it will be possible to take exams in German language on levels B1, B2 and C1. We are pleased to announce the cooperation with our new partner, the Studienkolleg Ettal in Yaounde - Mbalngong, and hope for a long and fruitful cooperation.
