Authorised telc Examination Centre
Your path to success and stability in Poland. Get an officially recognised certificate valid across the European Union. Quickly, with a modern approach and without unnecessary stress.
Official recognition of your competence
The telc certificate (The European Language Certificates) is aligned with Council of Europe CEFR standards and is firmly grounded in Polish law.
The key to permanent residence in Poland.
Under the MSWiA regulation, a telc certificate at B1 or higher is an officially recognised document confirming Polish language proficiency, required for an EU long-term resident permit. The most reliable path to stabilising your legal status in Poland.
Education without language barriers.
A B2 certificate opens the doors to studying in Polish at prestigious universities. It exempts you from entrance language exams and obligatory language courses. In doctoral proceedings it serves as formal confirmation of language competency required by law.
Higher earnings and career advancement.
Poland is Europe's hub for modern business services. For HR departments at companies such as Google, Amazon or investment banks, the telc certificate is hard proof of your proficiency, often the basis for language bonuses and a requirement for leadership positions.
The right to practise your profession.
For doctors, nurses and medical staff from abroad, the telc B2 certificate is a key step in the diploma nostrification process and obtaining the right to practise in Poland. It is recognised by medical chambers as reliable proof of language competency.
Work in public institutions.
telc is listed in the official register of certificates confirming language proficiency in civil service qualification procedures. A prestigious advantage that allows you to apply for stable employment in ministries, tax offices and other public bodies.
A standard recognised across the European Union.
Through telc's membership of the ALTE association, the certificate is recognised throughout Europe. In construction and engineering it is required in staffing compliance for public tenders and for certification of project managers working on international projects.
