What is this?

We are proud to have received our accreditation from the ÖSD as one of their very few testing centers in the US! We are certified to test German on the levels A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1 - corresponding to our own Beginner I - IV, Intermediate and Proficient classes. With a ÖSD certificate you prove your German proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) which is the internationally recognized standard of language skill recognition.

You can use this for citizenship requirements, university requirement, or just to prove your skills!

How do I take the test?

The test is comprised of two parts: One part is writing, listening, and reading. The other one is speaking. To familiarize yourself with this format we recommend to take part in our workshop (Fall: A1 and A2: Jan 28, 2025 7-8pm; B1 and B2: Feb 5, 2025 at 7-8:30pm on Zoom, C1: Feb 11 at 7-8:30pm).

Please note: The workshop does not guarantee passing the exam. However, we highly recommend taking it, because you will know the format and the general questions that will be asked.

We will offer exams in the spring and in the fall, but will also be happy to work with you, if you have a specific timeline you must meet (administration needs about 6 weeks to prepare for an actual exam).
