About Universidad de Salamanca

Universidad de Salamanca is an academic point of reference for teaching Spanish language worldwide. The university celebrated eight hundred years since its foundation in 2018. It was the first Spanish university to offer Spanish language and culture courses, when starting its Spanish as a Foreign Language programme in 1929. Academic and teaching work has continued uninterrupted since then.

Universidad de Salamanca, through its Cursos Internacionales de la Universidad de Salamanca, currently engages in all fields related to Spanish as a Foreign Language: teaching students and teachers, producing materials for learning and teaching, and assessing language skills, nationally and internationally, while partnering with organisations to promote the Spanish language, and engaging in award-winning work on Hispanic culture and values dissemination.

In 1997, Universidad de Salamanca along with the University of Cambridge, Alliance Française and Goethe Institut, developed the multilingual BULATS tests (Business Language Testing Service). From 2017 onwards, the Universidad de Salamanca Spanish BULATS test has been administered through a new online platform provided by LanguageCert’s mother organisation, PeopleCert, under its new name LanguageCert USAL esPro.

About TÖMER - Turkish and Foreign Languages Teaching and Research Centre

TÖMER, Turkish and Foreign Languages Teaching and Research Centre was first founded as the “Turkish Language Teaching Centre (Türkçe Öğretim Merkezi)” in 1984, aiming to teach Turkish to foreign students all around the world. TÖMER is the first institution to teach and test Turkish as a foreign language in Turkey. It later gradually expanded its focus to include the teaching of languages such as English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Persian, Russian, Chinese, Korean, and Bulgarian, as well as courses offered in Ottoman Turkish. The work done in the field of language teaching, the variety of language courses offered at the Centre and the EU projects which it has completed as a Coordinating Institution have established TÖMER as the leading institution in this field. The Centre continues to work towards its mission through its several branches all over Turkey, cooperation with other leading institutions across the world, and taking part in EU projects.

LanguageCert has partnered with Ankara Üniversitesi TÖMER to offer Turkish Proficiency exams under the new name LanguageCert AÜ TÖMER TürkYet. The exam is developed by Ankara Üniversitesi TÖMER and managed by LanguageCert.
