Do you need an English, French or German certificate? You can get it at the UV!

The Language Learning Centre of the Universitat de València organises two annual calls (June and September) to obtain the PACLE official certificate of English B1, B2 and C1 levels (CertAcles seal). It also offers B2 PACLEs for German and French.

PACLE are the Foreign Language Proficiency Accreditation Tests of the Universitat de València. Likewise, CertAcles is the language proficiency certification model developed by the Association of Language Centres in Higher Education (ACLES), which is made up of more than 60 language learning centres at the university level.

These English certificates are recognised for all intents and purposes by the Universitat de València and the rest of the Spanish universities, as well as by the Valencian Government.

On the other hand, German and French accreditation tests are only officially recognised by the Universitat de València. 

Candidates who pass any of these tests will be able to get their language skills accredited for Bachelor's, postgraduate and Master's degrees or mobility programmes. University staff will be able to get their language skills accredited for internal promotions or public examinations in the UV.

More information can be found in the 'Certifications' section of the Language Centre website.
