Svedočanstvo — Nisam Stranac certificate

Certificate on completion

At the end of the course you take a final exam and receive a svedočanstvo — a certificate from the Nisam Stranac educational centre stating the course, study period and grade.

It is a document that confirms your language level — useful for work and study in Serbia.
