The TestDaF (Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache = German as a foreign language) is a standardized exam providing evidence of German language proficiency and often serves as a linguistic requirement for foreign applicants who wish to study at a German university. Our TestDaF preparation courses with 30 lessons per week are especially designed for students who wish to prepare for this demanding language exam. The students learn test-taking techniques, build vocabulary and essential phrases for conversation and practice in realistic exam situations.
The minimum requirement to attend this course is German skills at the C1.1 level. In our Berlin City and Constance course centers, you can take a test to determine your German level prior to the course for a small fee, which will be deducted from the course fee once you sign up.
