Registrations for the Turkish Proficiency Exam (TYS) are now open!
It is now very easy to certify your Turkish language as Yunus Emre Institute London has announced that the registrations for the Turkish Proficiency Exam (TYS) are now open for those who want to assess their Turkish with the Türkçe Yeterlik Sınavı (Turkish Proficiency Exam)!
The TYS, developed by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü, is the first and only internationally recognised exam that assesses all the fundamental language skills and the linguistic proficiency of individuals who have learnt Turkish.
Candidates who are successful in the exam are given an ALTE (The Association of Language Testers in Europe) recognised Turkish Proficiency Certificate at B2, C1 and C2 levels according to their scores! The TYS is also compatible with the proficiency definitions determined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
The Turkish Proficiency Exam is suitable for those learning Turkish as a foreign language, for students needing to document their Turkish language proficiency for application and admission to universities in Turkey, for prospective teachers who want to teach Turkish in various institutions abroad, and for translators who want to certify their Turkish language proficiency.
The TYS has been carried out regularly since 2012 and is held simultaneously across the world three times a year, on dates and times established by the exam centres affiliated with the Yunus Emre Institutes abroad. The next exam is going to be held on the 14th of January 2023 for those who are interested, and the deadline for applications is the 21st of December 2022. The application for the TYS which is currently only held in person can be made online at https://tys.yee.org.tr/
