Meeting the Standards for Language Competence at Work

Is your company internationally active? Are you interested in staff capable of successfully advancing your business in foreign countries? telc certificates make language abilities comparable and transparent in the modern workplace.

telc examinations are geared to the Common European Framework of Reference for Foreign Languages (CEF). Organised according to six levels of competence, CEF specifies what candidates are capable of understanding and expressing at each level.

Large companies like Alliance Insurance AG, Deutsche Telekom AG IBM and Volkswagen AG value the CEF standards for measuring language competence. The telc language tests - based on the CEF definitions - are their instruments of choice.

Language tests designed especially for business

telc offers not only general language tests in ten languages, but also ones especially developed for business purposes in German, English and French. These tests have general work-related topics or content relevant to specific professions and sectors. telc work-oriented language tests accurately document language proficiency in the workplace.
