telc German B2 exam in Gießen: dates, prices, book online

The telc Deutsch B2 certificate proves independent language use and is frequently required in professional life – for example in health and care professions and in recognition procedures for foreign qualifications. Please ask your recognition authority which proofs are required exactly.

The written part takes about 150 minutes, the oral part around 15 minutes. You get 20 minutes of preparation time before the oral part. Plan for a good 3 hours on site, including registration and briefing.

You pass with at least 60 % in both parts: at least 135 points in writing and at least 45 in speaking.

Please bring a valid official photo ID (identity card, passport or residence permit). Without ID you cannot take part. Writing materials and dictionaries are neither permitted nor necessary – we provide everything else.

Marking is done centrally by telc. telc states that results are available about three weeks after the exam date; we will then inform you by email. You will receive your certificate from us afterwards.

telc provides free practice tests with audio material in the real exam format for every exam. The best preparation is to work through at least one of them under timed conditions. As an exam centre, we do not run courses. You can prepare online with HeyFlinko (heyflinko.com), the online preparation platform of Lernwerkstatt Pflege, which our exam centre also belongs to. There you work through the written part as a full on-screen simulation and practise the oral exam with licensed telc examiners. The free Ready-Score shows you where you stand in about 90 minutes.

We run our exams digitally on screen. The written part takes place on a PC in the exam room, the oral part as a pair or group exam in person with the examiners. The certificate is identical to the paper exam and equally recognised.

All exams take place at our examination centre at Liebigstraße 14–16, 35390 Gießen – centrally located and easy to reach by bus and train. We will tell you the exact room in the confirmation email; please arrive about 15 minutes before the start.
