General information
In addition to our renowned ifa-certificates, we offer three more internationally recognised examination certificates: "Zertifikat Deutsch", "Zertifikat Deutsch B2" and Zertifikat C1." These are components of the European Language Certificates (telc), a European system for measuring and comparing language competence, covering the main European languages. The certificates are valued internationally because their levels correspond to the Council of Europe’s common mandatory descriptions of language competence. There are six levels – A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 – which also correspond to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language Learning and Teaching (CEF).
