The Certificate of Galician Studies (CELGA) (Galician: Certificado de Estudos de Lingua Galega) is a standardised proficiency test for the Galician language. The various levels of the CELGA (1–5) align with Common European Framework of Reference levels (A2–C2).[1] 3,863 people took the CELGA exam in 2012.[2] It is organised by la Secretaría General de Política Lingüística, a part of the Galician government. The CELGA exam was founded in 2007[3] in accordance with the criteria of the Association of Language Testers in Europe, a group that tests language ability.
