The registration deadline for telc exams ends on Thursday at 1:00 PM two weeks before the desired exam date. After this deadline, you still have the option to register for the exam, but a late registration fee of 30 euros will be charged.

No, unfortunately, rescheduling or canceling a booked telc exam is not possible. You can find more information about this in our terms and conditions (AGB).

No, even if you are ill, rescheduling or canceling the exam is not possible.

Yes! We have scheduled our exam days so that both exam parts are taken on the same day. Please note that there may be a longer break between the written and oral exams. Therefore, please keep the entire day free from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM.

Yes! Even though both exam parts are held on the same day with us, you can take the parts on two different days if you register for two different exams and have your partial results credited. It is important in this case that you bring the results of the first part taken to the second exam.

Yes! A partial result is valid for twelve months. Within this period, you can have your partial result credited. So, for example, if you only failed the written exam but passed the oral one, you can retake only the written part at the next opportunity. You can then merge this partial result with the result of the previously passed oral exam. Please note that you must bring a copy of the result sheet of the passed exam on the second exam day, as failing to do so may cause delays in the crediting process.

Approximately four days before your exam, we will inform you of your exact exam time in a separate email. In the email, we will also explain what you should bring on your exam day. Please note that before you can start the exam, you must first check in at the front office.

If you have not received an email from us and it has not landed in your spam folder four days before the exam, please contact us by email immediately.

You are not allowed to use your mobile phone during the written exam, during the break in the written exam part for C1 & C1 Hochschule exams, or during the oral exam. Other electronic devices, such as tablets, are also not allowed during the exam.

Don't forget to bring these items on the exam day:

• A valid official photo ID, such as an international passport or ID card. Driver's licenses, health insurance cards, or student IDs are not accepted as official photo IDs.
• A pencil and ideally an eraser and pencil sharpener. Please note that only what is written with a pencil will be evaluated by telc.
• A €10 bill as a deposit for your locker.
• Optional: If you want to merge partial results, you should bring a copy of the result sheet of the passed exam on your exam day.
• Since a telc exam can take up the entire day, bring a sealable transparent water bottle and some food with you.

No, unfortunately, you cannot select the exact exam time. Therefore, please keep the entire day free until 7:00 PM.

About a week before the exam date, you will receive an email with all the important information about your exam. On the exam day, make sure to arrive at the examination center in a timely manner. Upon arrival at the examination center, check in at the front office. Here, we will verify your ID and inform you of the room where your exam will take place. After the written exam, we will inform you when you need to go to the waiting area for the oral exam.

The correction of the exams can take up to six weeks. You can check the current status of your exam in our exam status portal, where you can also find the estimated arrival time of your results. As soon as we receive your results, we will send you an email.

No, since the beginning of 2021, there is no option to shorten the correction time.

As soon as we receive the results from telc, we send them to you via email. For certificates issued before 15 February 2026, you can either collect the original from the school yourself or have it sent to you by post.

Please note that there will be no more paper-based telc certificates from 15 February 2026 onwards. You will receive your original certificate only as a PDF file and can print it out yourself if needed.

If you have passed both parts of the exam, your telc certificate does not have an expiration date. However, if you have only passed one part of the exam, your result is valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
