Preparation for the telc Deutsch B1 exam

In order to pass the exam successfully, you should

  1. meet the language requirements, i.e. have successfully completed level B1, and
  2. familiarize yourself with the exam structure and content before taking the exam.

If you do not yet meet the language requirements, we recommend attending our German intensive courses, der German evening courses or individual lessons. In the German courses you will practice your skills in the four competencies of reading, writing, listening and speaking. All German courses at our language school are conducted in accordance with the European Framework of Reference. In the courses at level B1 you will acquire all the knowledge and skills required to take an exam. However, there is no exam preparation in the intensive courses and evening classes. To prepare for the exam, please use the extensive information provided free of charge on the telc Institute website. Among other things, a free mock examination can be found on the telc Institute website. We recommend that you work through this test within the time allowed.
