German exam preparation courses

A course for a specific format: TestDaF, DSH, telc, Goethe or ÖSD — the tasks of the exam, its timing and how it is marked. Which exam you need is decided by the university or the authority, not the school: check the requirement before you book. Here are the preparation courses from our catalogue, at the schools' own prices.

Questions: German exam preparation courses

Which exam should I choose?
The one your university or authority asks for. Universities usually accept TestDaF, DSH or telc C1 Hochschule; for work and residence telc or Goethe at the required level is more common.
Can I take the exam at the same school?
If the school is an exam centre for that format. The badge «exam centre» on the course card and the school page shows it.
Free of charge

A language plan: from your level to the university application

A PDF for your application date: how many weeks you need to reach the required level, when to take TestDaF or DSH, where a course is cheaper for the same result and what a student visa requires. A consultant prepares it for you.

  • Weeks needed from your current level to the required one
  • Exam dates and application deadlines for your semester
  • Courses that fit your budget, with the full cost
