Organisation and implementation of German examinations

The head of EECentre, Catalin Badanau, has many years of expertise in German and English. With his commitment, he has created a unique centre of excellence that sets standards beyond Romania’s borders. “Our exams, including the German exams, are available throughout Romania, making it easier for interested parties to gain access to internationally recognised language certificates. As a pure examination centre, we concentrate on organising and conducting the exams without offering preparation courses ourselves. In this way, we create a special basis for cooperation with language schools and do not compete with them. Instead, we are a reliable partner.”

Strong language education network

Through partnerships with language schools, a solid network has been established that allows language teachers and other institutions to focus on preparing candidates for the exams, while EECentre professionally organises and administers the exams themselves. This collaboration improves language education, says Mr. Badanau, and ensures fair competition.

High quality language certificates

Since its foundation in 2010, the institution has established itself as a leading examination centre in Romania and specialises in ÖSD german exams. “These guarantee high quality and reliability in the implementation”, emphasises Mr Badanau. Candidates benefit from the fact that the exams can be taken anywhere in the country.

German exams for all language levels

ÖSD exams are offered for all language levels (A1 to C2). The institution works together with the language schools in advance in order to optimally support their preparation courses. It provides the schools and their teachers with materials recommended by the Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch (ÖSD) for exam preparation. This close cooperation ensures that candidates are optimally prepared for the German exams.

In addition, there are information events for teachers and institutions to inform them about the ÖSD exams and their benefits.

A team with experience and commitment

Although the EECentre team does not include any teachers per se, it consists of highly qualified experts with extensive experience in conducting and organising international examinations. A major concern of the institution is to provide participants with a positive exam experience through professionalism, attention to detail and special commitment. “Our clients appreciate not only the efficiency and organisation, but also the support they receive from us throughout the entire examination process.”

Who is EECentre for?

The participants in the German examinations are diverse:

Students who need international language certificates for their studies or for stays abroad.
Adults who need certificates for professional purposes or for immigration.
Language teachers who wish to demonstrate a high level of language proficiency themselves.

Best exam conditions and time flexibility

For EECentre as an exam centre, the focus is on the professional conduct of exams. The exam rooms are technically well equipped and meet the strict requirements of the ÖSD. During the exams, the atmosphere is calm and focused so that candidates have the best possible exam conditions.

The exam dates are based on the needs of the candidates and are held at weekends, for example. Moreover, there are special discounts for groups and institutions that regularly book exams with EECentre.

German exams in Bucharest and throughout Romania

EECentre’s head office in Bucharest is located in a modern office building in a central location. The institution also organises ÖSD German examinations at various locations in Romania. There, too, the local partners ensure optimal examination conditions. ÖSD exam organiser Catalin Badanau comments: “Our flexibility and reach make us a preferred exam provider throughout the country. And we have been recognised several times for our high level of professionalism and quality.”

Why become an ÖSD examination centre?

The motivation for EECentre to become an ÖSD examination centre was based on the desire to bring a high-quality and internationally recognised language exam for German to Romania. The ÖSD has flexible exam formats and covers a wide range of language levels – ideal for candidates who need German for study, work or personal development. EECentre aims to provide a solution that allows people in Romania to officially prove their language competence without having to travel long distances.

Advantages of being a licensed ÖSD exam centre

As an official ÖSD exam centre, EECentre sees several advantages:

Broader target group: The demand for internationally recognised german exam is growing steadily, especially in connection with migration, studying and working in German-speaking countries.
Cooperation with language schools: As EECentre does not offer courses, the institution benefits from a strong partnership with language schools, which can focus on preparing candidates.
High quality standard: Licensing as an examination centre for the Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch (ÖSD) strengthens our reputation as a reliable exams provider.
Expansion of the educational offer: The ÖSD licence enables EECentre to play an important role in promoting the German language in Romania.

Future goals of EECentre in Romania

EECentre’s plans for the future are promising and ambitious: The aim is to offer the ÖSD exams in even more cities in Romania and to establish them on a sustainable basis. For this reason, partnerships with language schools, universities and educational institutions are to be further intensified. An additional focus is on the continuous improvement of the exam organisation, which is optimised through regular feedback from candidates and partners. The advantages and international recognition of the ÖSD are to be emphasised even more throughout the country in order to make this valuable offer accessible to as many people as possible.
