The Commission is doing everything possible so that all candidates for positions defined by the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language” can exercise their constitutional right to work.

“Currently, our scientists are ready to provide qualified assistance, and consult all those who want to take the exam to determine their level of the state language proficiency. The exams themselves will take place in comfortable conditions in a specially equipped testing center of the university.

Please note that the program, sample tasks and exam procedure are developed by the National Commission for State Language Standards. The exam for persons who need to confirm their level of state language proficiency for the performance of official duties lasts 2 hours and covers four parts: “Language Culture”, “Reading”, “Writing" and "Speaking”.
If the participant does not come to the exam on the chosen day and time, they will be able to submit the next application only in 4 months.
