ECL certification of language competence is open to everyone who wishes to go to further studies in Europe, or to find a job assignment where certification of language competence is required.

Offered for most of European languages, accepted at most front line European universities, with lifetime validity and affordable price, the ECL certificate of linguistic competence is the choice for any multilingualism – oriented student or professional.

ECL certification is also accepted for the language test at BAC 2011!

ECL organizează o sesiune specială pentru România în luna martie pentru obţinerea şi utilizarea certificatelor ECL la bacalaureatul 2011.

Conform metodologiei examenului de bacalaureat din 2011, proba orală la limba engleză se poate echivala cu Certificatul ECL complet, obţinut pentru competenţa lingvistică de nivel B1, B2 sau C1. Fiecare nivel asigură promovarea examenului la limba engleză.

Înscrierile online sau la centrele regionale pentru sesiunea din martie pot fi efectuate până la data de 28 februarie. Sesiunea este programată pentru 18-19 martie 2011.

Rezultatele examenului vor fi afişate în perioada 18-22 aprilie, iar certificatele originale se vor înmâna până la sfârşitul lunii mai.

• What is the ECL certificate?
• Which are its uses, advantages, and above all, its specific features for supporting the entrepreneurial effort of a young in the light of European Commission?
• How do certified language skills boost employment prospects and mobility of individuals?

The multilingual policy adopted by Europe refers to the fact that the identity of Europe can only be represented adequately by respecting its diversity. It is really necessary for the European younger generation to be able to compare themselves with all the other European citizens, using common units of measurement. Coming forth, a new European Commission study on the internationalization of Small and Medium Enterprises shows how languages can be relevant in the internationalisation of European SMEs. Especially with young generation of entrepreneurs (supported by Erasmus programme) within this undertaking, there is a compulsory component: foreign language skills.
Therefore, European Language Certification becomes a must for any young graduate willing to adjust his/her new business to the European arena.
Thus, E.C.L. certificates (E.C.L.-European Consortium for Language Certification) offer a diploma constructed along the standards and norms underlying the Common European Framework of References in teaching and learning foreign languages, a document issued by The European Council which ensures a unitary homogenous coherent framework in assessing all the five language skills, separately.

We are going to answer a few questions, such as: What is the ECL certificate? Which are its uses, advantages, and above all, its specific features for supporting the entrepreneurial effort of a young in the light of European Commission? How do certified language skills boost employment prospects and mobility of individuals?

There will also be a sharing of experience of the speaker as Host Entrepreneur with European Commission looking at the benefits that multilingualism provides.
