Romanian language certification: CEFR levels and official routes
Understand Romanian proficiency attestation, institutional courses and why current official requirements must guide exam decisions.
Romanian certificates are issued through authorised institutional routes, not by completing an ordinary app. Verify the exact certificate, CEFR level, provider and purpose before paying or preparing.
Start with the accepting authority
University admission, employment, citizenship or another process may recognise different evidence. Ask the institution that requires proof which issuers, levels, dates and skill components it accepts.
Use current official sources
The Romanian Language Institute publishes proficiency-attestation information, while universities and cultural institutions may run courses or assessments. Dates, capacity, fees and documentation change; use the current announcement rather than an undated blog.
Prepare performance, not labels
Obtain the official task description and scoring rules where available. Diagnose listening, reading, interaction, production and writing separately. Timed simulations matter, but each error should lead back to language practice.
