In Greece, the 4-skill MET Digital is administered by the Hellenic American Union (HAU / Ελληνοαμερικανική Ένωση) and Anatolia College (ACT) and is officially recognized by ASEP (ΑΣΕΠ) for B1 (40–52, Καλή γνώση), B2 (53–63, Πολύ καλή γνώση), and C1 (64–80, Άριστη γνώση). Unlike single-level pass/fail exams, one MET sitting certifies whichever CEFR level you achieve.
ASEP (ΑΣΕΠ) recognition & score table in Greece (B1, B2, C1)
Greek students, civil service applicants, and professionals have taken Michigan Language Assessment exams for decades. While the ECCE targets B2 and the ECPE targets C2, the Michigan English Test (MET Digital) is a multi-level computer-based exam that awards an official 0–80 scaled score mapped from A2 to C1 in a single 155-minute sitting.
| ASEP (ΑΣΕΠ) Tier in Greece | CEFR Level | Required MET Scaled Score | Key Advantage vs. Single-Level Exams |
|---|---|---|---|
| Άριστη γνώση (Excellent knowledge) | C1 | 64 – 80 | Earns maximum ASEP language points for C1; if you score 61, you still receive official B2 certification |
| Πολύ καλή γνώση (Very good knowledge) | B2 (Lower) | 53 – 63 | Fast computer-delivered results & Single-Section Retake option |
| Καλή γνώση (Good knowledge) | B1 | 40 – 52 | Ideal stepping stone for secondary school and university learners |
Spain & Italy: University degree B1/B2 accreditation & international mobility
Across Southern Europe—especially in Spain and Italy—universities require proof of CEFR B1 or B2 English proficiency for undergraduate graduation (acreditación de idioma B1/B2 para grado), Erasmus+ exchanges, and master’s admissions. Because MET reports both individual skill scores (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) and an Overall 0–80 average mapped to CEFR, candidates can present clear four-skill proof.

What is the difference between MET Digital and ECCE in Greece?
Both are official Michigan Language Assessment exams administered in Greece by the Hellenic American Union (HAU) and ACT. ECCE is a single-level B2 exam, whereas MET Digital is a 155-minute computer-based multi-level exam (A2 to C1) that can certify B1 (40–52), B2 (53–63), or C1 (64–80) for ASEP (ΑΣΕΠ) and international visas.
