Congratulations!

On May 27, 2022, Irish language students took the TEG A1 Irish Oral examination!

On June 12, 2021, a group of Irish language students took the Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge (TEG) - the only internationally recognized general Irish language proficiency exam for adults - for the first time ever in Minnesota! The Celtic Junction Arts Center is proud to host this opportunity. Some of the students have been preparing and waiting for the A1 exam for three years and more.

Thank you to Lavinia Finnerty for her leadership, instruction, and patience in getting to this goal!

Derived from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, the TEG Certificate in Irish originates in Ireland’s Maynooth University and is administered annually in specific cities in Ireland, Europe, Canada, and the U.S.
