English B2 level Certificate

Study in Poland?

Get your mandatory English B2 certificate with LanguageCert

 From 1 August 2025, every non-EU student applying for a Bachelor’s programme taught in English in Poland must show an English certificate at B2 level or higher (CEFR).

JDU makes this step simple and more affordable:

 Book your exam with code: 5BC233 and get 10% off your LanguageCert exam fee. The code works everywhere in the world! 

 
1. The new law: why you now need B2 English

A new regulation of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education defines which language certificates non-EU students must present to study in Poland. It covers both Polish and foreign languages and sets a minimum B2 level in all four skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing). 

More info here:https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2025000104501.pdf
Key points:

Applies to non-EU citizens who want to study in Poland.
Requires B2 level or higher in the language of instruction (for you: English).
Uses one official national list of accepted certificates – universities across Poland refer to this same list, not their own separate rules.
Official reference: https://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/D2025000104501.pdf

 
2. LanguageCert – officially recognised for admissions in Poland

The regulation’s list of accepted English certificates includes LanguageCert (PeopleCert Qualifications – PCQ) with three exam options at B2 level or higher:

LanguageCert International ESOL – Communicator B2 or higher
LanguageCert Academic B2 or higher
LanguageCert Test of English (LTE) – B2 or higher
For JDU students, the main recommended option is:

LanguageCert International ESOL – B2 Communicator
(Written exam + Spoken exam = full 4-skills B2 proof)

This exam is globally available, both at test centres and online with remote live invigilation.

4. How to book your LanguageCert B2 Communicator exam

(and where to enter code 5BC233)

Most candidates for studies in Poland will follow this path:

Open the official LanguageCert B2 Communicator page
https://www.languagecert.org/en/language-exams/english/languagecert-international-esol/b2-communicator-2281 LanguageCert
Choose the exam format
Online with remote, live proctoring (take the exam from home)
Select your exams (4-skills)
Written (Listening, Reading, Writing) – B2 Communicator

You need both to show full 4-skills B2 for Polish universities.
Apply your 10% discount
Go to the booking / checkout page.
Find the field: “Promo code”.
Type 5BC233 and click Apply – the price will drop by 10%.
Create or log into your LanguageCert account
Register or sign in.
Select your date and time from the available slots.
Confirm & pay
Complete payment.
You will receive confirmation and exam instructions by email.
Remember: the same code 5BC233 can also be used if you choose LanguageCert Academic B2+ or LanguageCert LTE B2, and it is valid in any country where LanguageCert’s online booking system operates.

 
5. Take2 – smart safety net for the Spoken exam

Speaking is the part many students are most nervous about. LanguageCert offers Take2, an optional re-sit service that works like an exam insurance policy:

It is a low-cost add-on you buy together with your exam.
If you fail the covered module, you get one extra attempt without paying the full exam fee again.
If you pass on the first try, you simply don’t use the re-sit (Take2 is non-refundable).
For many students, the optimal strategy is:

Book LanguageCert B2 Communicator + add Take2 for the Spoken exam.
This gives you a second chance at Speaking if something goes wrong on the spoken exam day.

How to add Take2:

When booking your exam (after entering promo code 5BC233), look for the “Take2 re-sit service” option linked to your B2 Communicator exam.
Choose Take2 for Spoken (and, if you want extra security, for Written as well).
Add it to your basket and complete the booking.
Take2 is available for LanguageCert International ESOL exams (A2–C2) taken online, which includes B2 Communicator.

Focus on the question types you find hardest and repeat those.

8. Fast results – 3 business days

For online LanguageCert International ESOL exams with remote live invigilation, results are typically issued in about 3 business days: 

You receive a Statement of Results (SoR) and e-certificate online.
You can download and upload these directly to your university application systems.
A printed certificate can be sent later, but for admissions, the e-documents are usually enough.
This fast turnaround gives you:
