If you're looking for work in Germany or would like to study at a German University you may need to show proof of your language ability with a Certificate or recognised qualification. We offer preparatory courses for the TestDaF exam - Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache /Test of German as a Foreign Language -, which is a language test suitable for learners of German at an intermediate to high level of language proficiency. The TestDaF exam provides the universally recognised proof of the language skills required for admission to any German university.

TestDaF examines the following four language skills in separate subtests: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, writing, speaking. To pass the exam a TestDaF-mark of 3 (TDN 3) must be attained in all four skills. The "Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität" (LMU) in Munich, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) as well as the Technical College (FHM Fachhochschule München) accept a TestDaF-mark of 4 (TDN 4) in all four skills.

Many colleges in Germany also accept lower results (TDN 3). Every institution has its own entry requirements. Before applying for a study place at your chosen school, please enquire as to which TestDaF result is required. Many universities display these requirements on their website.

We are an accredited examination centre for TestDaF. At TANDEM München we offer you the opportunity to prepare for, register for and sit the TestDaF exam, all in the same place.
