Frequently asked questions
Do you issue the certificates yourselves?
No. Official certificates are issued only by the respective exam provider, the Goethe-Institut, telc, ÖSD, the TestDaF Institute, a university or the BAMF, after you pass the exam. We prepare you for the exam, help with registration and support you with your visa.
Which German certificate do I need?
It depends on your goal: A1 for family reunion, mostly B1 for vocational training and citizenship, B2 for many skilled workers and C1, TestDaF or DSH for university. Message us and we will clarify it free of charge.
How soon can I take the exam?
Many exam centres offer several dates a month. If you already have the level, an exam is often possible within a few weeks.
