Our programmes
German is a requirement for most applications to study, train or work in Germany. The programme is taught by CEFR level, and each level stops at the exact milestone your application will be asked about.
The four points below explain how German is measured, and which level is usually asked for.
Goethe, telc, ÖSD and TestDaF each have their own scoring, but German schools and visa offices all read the result as a level: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1.
Goethe certificates from B1 upwards have four modules — Hören, Lesen, Schreiben and Sprechen. A module you did not pass can be retaken on its own.
A family reunion visa usually needs A1, vocational training usually B1 or B2, and a German-taught university degree usually C1. The exact level is set by each school and each authority.
Unlike the English programmes, German learners rarely bring anything from school, so pronunciation, noun gender and case are taught carefully from day one.
