What is ECL?

​

ECL (European Consortium for (European Consortium for the Certificate of Attainment in Modern Languages) is a standardized language proficiency exam developed for European languages, including German, based on the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). The ECL exam tests four core language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking, and is available for levels A2 to C1. The exam focuses on real-life communication and is ideal for learners who want to certify their language competence for academic, professional, or personal purposes.

Why ECL?

​

ECL is recognised across the European Union and many international institutions. It is valued for its practical orientation, as the tasks are based on real-world communication rather than academic grammar drills. The ECL certificate is accepted for employment, university admissions, and language accreditation in many EU countries. Because it is CEFR-aligned, ECL is comparable to other international certifications like Goethe-Zertifikat or TELC. It is especially useful for people who wish to study or work in the EU or need proof of language skills for integration or professional recognition.
