Do you offer the official exams?

Many of the students at Speakeasy require a formal assessment of their language skills. These days it is not at all unusual for employers to require proof that you’ve passed particular language examinations before they give you a job. If you’re working on gaining admission into a German university – they very often require language certificates.

Speakeasy offers the TELC exam which provides you with a certificate that is recognized worldwide. TELC stands for "The European Language Certificates". The not-for-profit organisation TELC GmbH has established itself over 45 years, with over 3,000 TELC licensed partners in over 20 countries and more than 12,000 licensed examiners in Europe.

You can easily register online for your TELC exam.

Speakeasy regularly offers the A1, B1, B2, C1 Allgemein and C1 Hochschule exams. Speakeasy can also offer the A2 and C2 exams by special arrangement on one of our regular exam days.

Our regular language courses are all geared to the European framework of language levels – this means that, as they progress, our classes will always naturally be helping you prepare for the corresponding TELC language examinations (levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2).

You can easily see the our dates and fees for each exam online.

We have world-class trainers at Speakeasy who are also TELC examiners, so you can be sure to receive the support you need to prepare for your language examinations. We also offer exam preparation courses, where our trainers can give you the practice you need via mock exams. They will take you through key exam techniques in order to help you get the best possible results.

You may also want to take some additional lessons to focus on your own particular development areas before the language examinations. If so we can offer one to one classes specifically for this purpose.

Once you have taken the exam, it can take between 4-6 weeks for your exam results to come through. You can check our website for your exam status (although you will need to come to the school in person to collect your individual results).

Good luck!
