Exam dates and information about the telc A1 exam in Leipzig
What do I need a telc Exam A1 for?
You need the certificate of a telc A1 examination, for example, to apply for family reunification.
The certificate also proves basic German language skills when applying for a visa to join your spouse.
So if you already live in Germany, but your spouse would also like to move to Germany from abroad, you can reliably prove the language skills required for this by taking a telc A1 exam.
How is the A1 telc examination structured?
The A1 telc examination consists of two parts:
- oral part (approx. 11 minutes)
- written part (approx. 70 minutes)
The oral part usually takes place on the same day as the written part.
Since the A1 telc examination is a group examination, it takes place together with other examinees in a joint conversation or interview.
Structure of the oral exam
Task 1: In the first part of the telc A1 oral exam, each examinee in your group will be asked to introduce themselves individually.
Task 2: Then, you have to inquire about two given everyday topics. These are Wh-questions and yes/no questions. You will be given flashcards with the appropriate vocabulary to complete the task.
Task 3: In the last part of the test, you will ask your conversation partner for something with the help of picture cards.Then, you will react to the requests of your conversation partner.
Structure of the written exam
The written part of your telc A1 exam takes 65-70 minutes and consists of the listening and reading sections.

If you want to take the A1 telc exam, you should already be proficient at level A1 of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference).

In concrete terms, this means that you must achieve a minimum score of 60 points.
