Multilingual for the Future – Get off to a flying start with the telc School Programme

Are you planning to spend time abroad? Are you dreaming of an international career? Or do you simply want to upgrade your job application portfolio? Whatever your goals, a telc certificate prepares you well.

What’s the difference between school exams and exams for adults?

telc school exams and exams for adults are of equal value. The only difference is in the themes. In school exams, you’ll find topics which are important and interesting for you and your age group, for example, free time activities, friends, time abroad and jobs. Our tests are always based on practical situations. They don’t require you to answer dry questions, but prove your ability to use the language in everyday situations.

What Advantages Does a telc Certificate Give You?

Better career opportunities

Foreign language skills have become almost indispensable in modern working environments. With a telc certificate, you show how good your language abilities are. Even more: you show your enthusiasm, ambition and interest – clear points in your favour when applying for a job.

International comparability

School marking systems are not always compatible from country to country. When you apply for an internship or work placement in a foreign country, it is best to document your foreign language skills according to an internationally recognised rating system. Our exams are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which is the standard rating system for all European languages.

Which telc school exam is the right one for you?

Are you learning English, French or Spanish?

Then you can supplement your regular school report or school-leaving certificate with the telc English School, telc Français Ecole or telc Español Escuela language certificates.

Have you grown up bilingually, speaking both German and Turkish?

Then you should make the most of it! With the telc Türkçe Okul exam you prove how good your Turkish is. 

Would you like to have your German language abilities certified?

Then you can take the Zertifikat Deutsch für Jugendliche / telc Deutsch B1 Schule exam. The exam is especially important for you when a language other that German is primarily spoken in your family. This exam is also offered in schools outside of Gerrmany. 

What Other Language Certificates Can You Acquire?

When you have passed the age of 16, you can also take any of the telc adult examinations, which offer you a greater variety of languages and levels.
