ENGLISH VERSION 
In August 2026, Danubius International University (DIU) professors successfully prepared for and took the LanguageCert International ESOL exam (B2–C2). Launched as a pilot project by the Lifelong Learning and Technological Information Department, this initiative established a proven model ready for regional expansion.
Below, test takers share their experiences:
“Taking the B2 exam online provided a modern, stress-free environment that built real-world confidence through engaging dialogue”. Mrs Chiriă’s patience, clarity, and pedagogical skills created a joyful learning space”. “All participants were encouraged to speak freely and share not only professional ideas but also personal passions like folk dancing, painting, and cooking.”
“Rather than rigid grammar rules, the exam evaluated living, dynamic communication”. “Stepping back into the role of evaluated learners was a rewarding "test of courage" for DIU faculty, proving that language mastery thrives on interactive community and authentic connection”.
As promised by Mr Rector Steve O. Michael, all test takers will be reimbursed—you will be contacted in person with further details.
Congratulations to our newly LanguageCert-certified colleagues!

I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity. As Mr. President Andy Pusca noted, " "Every now and then, it's good practice for teachers to sit on the other side of the desk, too."
