The University Language Center offers a unique opportunity for those who wish to obtain an official accreditation in language proficiency. To learn all the details about these exams, we have the participation of Laura Ramírez, accreditation director of the center, along with foreign language coordinators Javier Torres and Marta López.

At this center, you can not only learn up to 13 different languages but also take intensive and semester-long preparation courses for official exams. Additionally, you have the option to take certification tests at the same center, obtaining an official certificate that can be used for competitive exams, academic exchanges, or job applications abroad.

Differences between a course certificate and an official certificate

It is essential to understand the difference between the two. Only accreditation exams provide a valid certificate to present to institutions, companies, or public administrations. Therefore, taking these tests in the same place where language courses are taught is an added advantage.

The Spanish and European university system has its own model of official exams, adapted to international mobility needs. The University designs and organizes PACLE CertAcles exams every year, offering a quick and effective solution to obtain the necessary English certification for competitive exams and other administrative processes.

Most demanded official exams

One of the most requested exams is the Cambridge exam, which is conducted up to four times a year at the center. To ensure the best preparation, courses include mock exams, allowing students to face the test with confidence and security.

For those who urgently need to certify their English level, Oxford exams and, exclusively in Valencia, the TOEFL exam are available, essential for obtaining study or work visas in the United States.

In addition to English, the University organizes official exams for most of the languages it teaches. Thanks to a recent agreement with the Institut Français, DELF and DALF French exams have been incorporated, recognized by the French government. Students can also obtain certifications in Italian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and even Korean through agreements with official institutions.

Valencian exams and Spanish nationality

Students can also certify their level of Valencian through CIEACOVA exams, organized twice a year by Valencian universities. The university community has priority access to these tests, facilitating their language accreditation.

For foreign citizens wishing to obtain Spanish nationality, the University Language Center offers the Constitutional and Sociocultural Knowledge of Spain (CCSE) test, mandatory for the naturalization process. These tests are scheduled twice a month in the evening and night, making it easier for working individuals to attend.
