About the Test

The German tests A1 and A2 certify that the candidates have acquired basic language skills and correspond to the first levels (A1 and A2).

German (Basic/A1) is the most basic level of proficiency in the German language. It is generally considered to be the first level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which is an internationally recognized standard for language proficiency.

Passing the exams demonstrates that one can communicate simply if the person you are speaking to talks slowly and clearly, understands, and uses familiar everyday and common expressions and simple sentences (e.g., information about yourself and your family or shopping, work, and your immediate surroundings), introduce yourself and others, as well as ask others about themselves, e.g., where they live, who they know and what they own.

Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
