Ellinomatheia – Official Greek Language Certification

The Ellinomatheia exams are the official international certification of Greek language proficiency for non-native speakers. They are organised by the Centre for the Greek Language under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Education and are recognised globally by universities, employers, and public institutions.

At Groupiz, we support every learner in their Ellinomatheia exam preparation with structured lessons, focused practice, and expert guidance from experienced, certified teachers — helping our students achieve the highest level of readiness and confidence for exam success.

Exam Levels

The Ellinomatheia exams are available at six levels, aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR):

A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.

Level A1 is offered in two versions — one for children (ages 8–12) and another for adolescents and adults — making the certification accessible to learners of all ages.

Skills Assessed

Each level tests the four key language skills:

  • Listening comprehension
  • Reading comprehension
  • Writing
  • Speaking

For higher levels (B2–C2), candidates are also evaluated on Use of Language, which focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and overall accuracy in expression.

Why Take the Ellinomatheia Exam?

Achieving an Ellinomatheia certificate is a valuable milestone for any Greek learner. It:

  • Provides official recognition of your Greek language proficiency.
  • Grants eligibility to study at Greek universities (starting from level B2).
  • Enhances career prospects in education, business, and international fields.
  • Celebrates your commitment to learning the Greek language and culture.
