Global certification leader PeopleCert has signed a collaboration deal with the Panhellenic Federation of Language School Owners (PALSO) to further promote the new LanguageCert English language qualification.

The PeopleCert deal with PALSO marks the beginning of the collaboration between the two organisations, working towards even better preparation and access to the LanguageCert exams that PeopleCert organises all over Greece. PALSO members, through their local associations, will have access to educational and informational material that will facilitate their educational work. The two organisations will also design common educational activities with the explicit goal to further upgrade and enhance the level of language education in Greece.

“PeopleCert’s collaboration with PALSO marks an important milestone for LanguageCert qualifications”, said Byron Nicolaides, Chairman and CEO of PeopleCert Group. “PeopleCert’s state-of-the-art technological capabilities, in conjunction with PALSO’s strong presence all over Greece, constitute a great strategic advantage for both sides, allowing for the promotion of LanguageCert and the improvement of student preparation for their exams, in even more places across Greece.”

“PALSO was founded in 1981 with a mission to promote the interests of all language school owners, the members of the local organisations, with the ultimate goal of serving the greater good”, said Vasilis Krondiris, President of PALSO. “This collaboration will offer PALSO members another choice, a great one from an international certification organisation.”

LanguageCert exams are already offered in more than 25 countries across the globe, and have been recognised by Education Ministries and other accreditation bodies in England, Wales, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania, while in Greece they have gained recognition from ASEP.
