Arabic (Language) Proficiency Certificate
Explanation:
Working at a University, one of the degree entry requirements for some languages is the "Großes Latinum" which seems to be the equivalent certificate in Latin for what you're looking for. In English, the "großes Latinum" is referred to as the "Latin Prficiency Certificate", so if we substitute 'Arabic' in for 'Latin', this might be a good translation for the "großes Sprachschein in Arabisch". The requirements for achieving this certificate in Latin is atleast 5-6 years of lessons and passing a test. It's explained here (for Latin): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinum

According to a list on Wikipedia, there are also specific qualifications in Arabic, all called "Arabic Language Proficiency Test", see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_language_proficiency_te...
