Quick Tips Before You Book

Important Information

Always register through the official exam provider (Goethe / TELC / ÖSD) — third‑party bookings can be fraudulent or invalid. Goethe exam slots are highly competitive and often fill up fast — multiple attempts or flexible centres can help secure a date. Check whether the certificate level you need (e.g., B1 for Ausbildung, A1 for visa) is offered at your chosen centre before booking.
