Telc Exams

How to prepare for your telc exam
The first step in preparing for a telc exam is to ensure that you meet the language requirements of the exam. Each of the exams we offer consists of four parts in which your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills are tested. If you still need training for the exam, we recommend that you attend one of our German courses, where we will teach you these four skills and prepare you for the exam.
If you are not taking one of our courses, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the exam format. You should also know how the exam is structured, i.e. what types of tasks you can expect to find in the exam and how best to tackle them. Each exam has its own 'peculiarities' and you should get to know these before the exam.
You can find detailed information about each exam on the telc website.
Overview of language levels and content
We organise our courses according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR provides a common basis for the development of curricula and qualifications and enables interlingual comparability.
The levels A1 to C1 have been defined for this purpose.
Here you can find an overview of the respective contents and learning objectives.
- A1: At level A1 you learn the basic language skills needed for everyday life.
- A2: At level A2 you build on the basic skills of level A1. You will develop your communication skills and become more confident in using the language in a variety of contexts.
- B1: At level B1 you build on the foundations of the previous levels. You extend your abilities to be able to communicate better in more complex situations.
- B2: At level B2 you build on the previous levels and take your language skills to an advanced level. The aim is to be able to communicate confidently in various areas of life and work.
- C1: At level C1 you develop advanced language skills at a demanding level, enabling you to express yourself confidently and convincingly in a wide range of personal, professional and academic situations.

Ich empfehle diese deutsche Schule weiter. Christiane, meine Lehrerin, ist nett und professionell. Wir lernen Deutsch durch Spiele und Lesen, sodass der Unterricht leicht ist. Auch im Büro habe ich immer nette Leute getroffen. Die Neue Schule: Deutsch ohne Stress!
learn moreIch habe an einem C1.2 Intensivkurs Spezial als Bildungsurlaub teilgenommen und war begeistert. Eine Kombination von Gruppen- und Privatunterricht fand ich sehr effektiv. Die beiden Lehrer waren sehr professionell und das Lernen hat wirklich Spaß gemacht. Einer der besten Deutschkurse, die ich hatte!
learn moreIch habe einen C1 Intensiv-Sprachkurs Englisch mit Martin und Nuala absolviert und das hat mir richtig Spaß gemacht. Ich habe viel gelernt und ich wurde durch spannende Themen, die wir in der Gruppe diskutiert haben, gefordert. Wir haben viel gesprochen, das finde ich am wichtigsten beim Sprache lernen. Ich kann die Neue Schule sehr empfehlen, weil die Kurse mit vier Leuten, also oft klein sind. In der zweiten Woche waren wir sogar nur zu zweit. Alle Daumen hoch!!!
learn moreIch bin sehr dankbar für die Prüferinnen dort, weil sie mir geholfen haben, meine Aufregung während die Telc B2 Prüfung loszuwerden, und das war sehr hilfreich um meine Prüfung zu bestehen! Außerdem habe ich an keinen Deutsch Kurs dort teilgenommen, deswegen kann ich nichts über das sprechen. Bezüglich des Prüfungstags: Alles war gut organisiert. Es gab nicht zu vielen Prüfungsteilnehmer, und die Prüferinnen waren immer so glücklich und entspannt, dass sie mein Stress abbauen haben.
learn moreAfter trying a couple of German courses, I completed six months at Die Neue Schule without even realizing it. Our teacher Eva was a perfect match for me because she is a very well-prepared teacher who structured the lessons with a variety of activities. She even noted our mistakes and prepared lessons focusing on eliminating these mistakes. She is one of the best teachers I have ever seen. Moreover, the office staff at Die Neue Schule, including the administrative staff, is wonderful and very friendly. They solve any problems on behalf of the students and teachers even before they realize it. For whatever reason you go there, it is guaranteed that you will find a smiling face and a helping kindness. I definitely recommend Die Neue Schule for people who would like to learn German in a systematic way.
