ISLAMABAD: MicroCerts, Pakistan’s national digital skills certification platform and a subsidiary of AXI Systems (SOE), inked a MoU with the Pakistan-China Institute (PCI), with a focus on youth, women, education, diplomacy, defense, energy, economy, and environment.
Under the partnership, PCI will provide expert academic review of four HSK-aligned Chinese language certification modules developed by MicroCerts, ahead of their nationwide rollout through the platform.
MicroCerts has developed four Chinese language certification modules aligned with the HSK proficiency framework: HSK 1 (Foundation Mandarin), HSK 2 (Elementary Mandarin), HSK 3 (Intermediate Mandarin), and HSK 4 (Upper-Intermediate Mandarin). The modules are designed to provide Pakistani learners with structured, standards-aligned Mandarin language credentials and support their academic and professional aspirations.
The certifications are particularly aimed at students and scholarship aspirants preparing to study in China, as well as professionals seeking opportunities on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects and in other China-related sectors.
The collaboration will add an expert academic review layer to the certification modules, helping ensure that the content is relevant, rigorous, and aligned with the learning requirements associated with the HSK framework.
The partnership represents a step toward expanding access to Chinese language learning and certification opportunities for Pakistani learners through a digital platform, while supporting the growing educational and professional links between Pakistan and China.
