Information about TELC-exams

TELC stands for ”The European Language Certificates”. These language examinations, which are recognised across Europe, are held in fifteen countries and in over 3000 facilities for various levels of competency.

State accreditation: The European language certificates are internationally recognised and highly valued. Examples: The examination for the German certificate is a precondition for the acquisition of the German citizenship; several German states recognize the European language certificate in place of various diplomas. Italy: The German certificate is recognised by the Ministry of Education. Poland: B1 and B2 TELC-examinations are recognised as a prerequisite for public services. Hungary, Czech Republic: TELC-English and German certificates are recognised by the state.

Academic accreditation: In Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Poland the TELC-examinations facilitate the entrance into college and vocational academies. In Germany the accreditation is regulated exclusively by the state, but a growing number of colleges and vocational academies accept a TELC-certificate in German, English, French or Spanish as evidence of sufficient language skills. Please inquire at the according college and vocational academies.

Recognition on the job market: The number of examinations and acquired certificates are essential for the popularity and recognition on the job market. There are numerous important associates in all the countries where the Chamber of Commerce and its organizations are represented. More information on: www.telc.net.
