Speaking at the certificate ceremony, Col. Dr. Gábor Boldizsár, Dean, NUPS FMSOT stated that the regular standardized language training of NATO member countries is significant because it has a professional content which uses the same expressions to designate the same acts and words, and the relevant expressions have the same meaning. “It is not only about understanding the English language, but also about meaning the same, which is the key to conducting joint operations", the Dean of the FMSOT said, and then handed over the certificates together with Dr. Gabriella Kiss, Head of the Centre for Foreign and Special Language Training.

Gabriella Kiss congratulated the participants of the language courses. In her welcome speech, she said that besides teaching the terminology, the foreign language training laid great emphasis on developing communication skills, so that the course participants can successfully use the foreign language they have learnt in everyday life as well.
