Structure and levels of the telc exams

Comprehensive assessment of your language skills: The telc exams are carefully designed to comprehensively assess your language skills. They consist of several parts: Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. Each part aims to test different aspects of your language skills.

Reading comprehension

Reading comprehension tests your ability to understand written information. This section includes different types of text, from short messages to complex articles.

Oral expression

The oral part of the exam assesses how well you can express yourself clearly and fluently. The content varies, depending on the language level, from everyday communication situations to more demanding discussions and presentations.

Listening comprehension

Listening comprehension tests how well you understand spoken language. It includes recordings of dialogues and monologues. Everyday conversational situations are tested or you deal with more complex listening texts that require a higher level of concentration and language comprehension.

Written expression

In the written part, you show how well you can articulate your thoughts in text form - from basic writing skills to longer essays.

History and significance of telc examinations

Fromthe beginnings to global recognition: telc examinations, also known as "The European Language Certificates", have their origins in the 1960s. They were developed to provide a standardised method of assessing and certifying language skills in various European languages. Since then, telc has developed into one of the leading examination organisations, offering examinations in over 20 languages. This success is reflected in the increasing number of participants at our telc examination centre in Frankfurt.

Growing importance in an international context: Today, telc examinations are highly regarded not only in the European educational area, but also internationally. They serve as a reliable measure of language competence that is recognised by educational institutions, employers and government authorities worldwide. At our examination centre, we adapt the telc examination dates flexibly to meet the needs of our international candidates. The telc exams play a crucial role in promoting multilingualism and intercultural communication, making them an indispensable part of lifelong learning.

Recognition of telc certificates

telc certificates are more than just proof of your language skills; they are a key to numerous educational and professional opportunities. Their recognition and versatility make them a valuable tool for any language learner.

Academic recognition: In the academic world, telc certificates are a recognised measure of language competence. Many universities and colleges in Europe and beyond accept these certificates as proof of language ability for admission to degree programmes. Especially for degree programmes that require a certain level of language competence, the certificate is reliable proof of aptitude.

Professional relevance: telc certificates open doors on the labour market. Employers recognise the importance of these certificates as proof of the ability to communicate effectively in a foreign language. This is particularly valuable in internationally operating companies and for positions with foreign language contact. A telc exam can therefore be a decisive factor when looking for a job or for professional development.
