On May 16, the Confucius Institute at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University successfully held its first HSK Chinese Proficiency Tests and HSKK Chinese Speaking Tests of 2026.

HSK, or the Chinese Proficiency Test, is an internationally recognized standardized test designed to assess the Chinese language proficiency of non-native speakers. HSKK, or the Chinese Speaking Test, focuses specifically on candidates’ oral Chinese communication skills.

A total of 40 local Chinese language learners took part in the examinations. The tests were conducted smoothly and in good order, with all candidates completing the exam with focus and confidence.

As an official Chinese language examination center in North Macedonia, the Confucius Institute continues to provide local learners with a standardized platform to assess their Chinese proficiency and support their future academic study, career development, and cross-cultural exchange.

We wish all candidates excellent results and continued success in their Chinese learning journey!
