telc Deutsch C1

How do I prepare myself for the examination?
  1. Gain language competence in language courses or study on your own. Bookshops have course books that prepare you specifically for the language level C1.
  2. Familiarise yourself with the procedure and types of subtests of the telc Deutsch C1 examination. The mock examination and the Tipps für Teilnehmer will help you with this.
May I use a dictionary during telc Deutsch C1?

No.

When can I take the examination?

Your telc examination centre offers examinations regularly, and can also offer exams upon request. Please enquire at the centre when the next exam is scheduled. When you plan, please take into consideration that your examination centre has to register the exam at telc 30 days before the exam date.

Where can I take a telc examination?

At all telc examination centres (e.g. Adult Education Centres). Please be aware that some examination centres do not offer the entire telc programme. To find the examination centres in your area, please click here.

What does the examination cost?

Your examination centre will inform you about the exam fee. Each examination centre is free to determine the exam fee individually, so unfortunately we cannot give you any details.

How long does it take for me to get my telc certificate?

Normally you will get your C1 certificate six weeks after the documents have arrived at the telc Head Office in Frankfurt. However, we are often quicker with the rating.

Can I repeat the examination?

Yes, as often as you wish. If you have failed just the oral exam or just the written exam, you do not need to take the whole examination again. You will find details on this under § 5 of the examination regulations.
