FAQ

What is the telc A2 exam and who is it for?

The Certificate in German / telc German A2 is a language exam that assesses your basic German skills. It shows that you can communicate in simple everyday situations, understand information, and express yourself clearly. The certificate is internationally recognized and serves as official proof of your language proficiency. This exam is often taken by people who need proof of language skills for a visa or residence permit in Germany, individuals who want to work in Germany, or applicants who wish to officially document their basic language knowledge.

When and where can I register for the telc A2 exam in Braunschweig, and how is it organized?

The language test consists of a written and an oral part. The written part takes 70 minutes. The oral test usually takes place on the same day.
