DTZ A2-B1

Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer (DTZ A2-B1) is a certificate examination at the end of BAMF-sponsored integration courses. Participants of our integration courses will be registered for DTZ during the course. There is no additional fee.

Sprachenakademie regularly offers the exam as a DTZ test center. If you have attended an integration course at Sprachenakademie but have not achieved a sufficient result, you can retake the exam. In this case, you will be charged the fee for the repeat examination. The fee amounts to €130 (registration fee included). We will be happy to provide you with dates for retaking the exam upon request.

If you do not meet the participation requirements for the DTZ but would like to obtain an A2 or B1 language certificate, we recommend the telc Deutsch A2-B1 or telc Deutsch B1 examination formats.
