Overview: Differences between the language levels
telc examinations are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: learning, teaching, assessment: the CEFR. This is the basis for the development of curricula, examinations, textbooks etc. throughout Europe. It distinguishes between six levels of competence and describes what learners can express and understand at each level.
The CEFR describes six internationally comparable levels:
- Level A1 - First steps
They understand familiar words and very simple sentences when spoken slowly and clearly and can read and understand individual words and very simple sentences.
They can communicate in short words and fill out a form, for example.
- Level A2 - Communicate

You can use a range of sentences to communicate in everyday situations and write short, simple notes, messages and personal letters.

You can take part in conversations about family, hobbies, work or current events and write simple, coherent texts on familiar topics.
- Level B2 - Co-create
You can follow speeches and most television programs and feature films if the topic is reasonably familiar and read articles, reports and literary prose texts.
They communicate fluently and can actively participate in discussions. You can formulate detailed texts such as essays, reports or letters and argue your point of view.

1.
It is always an advantage to come to the exam well-rested and not on an empty stomach.
2.
Please remember your ID card.
3.
It is worth arriving in good time for the telc exam, at least a quarter of an hour before the appointment. This gives you the opportunity to calm down and concentrate. We can also clarify everything you need to know together during this time.
4.
Even if exams are always exciting: Try to take a deep breath from time to time. If you feel stressed, it's best to take a short break.
5.
Your results are usually available after four to six weeks. You don't need to worry about anything. We will contact you automatically. And very important: Please inform us of any changes of address so that we can actually deliver the result.
