You can take in-house examinations at our educational institution at levels A1-C2, which are based on the Goethe-Institut examinations. These cost 150 euros per level.
What do I need the aledu exam for?
If you want to enrol for a course of study, the university requires some language skills. For example, the University of Duisburg-Essen accepts our certificates for enrolling in some courses of study. For example, with a B1 certificate you can obtain a degree in 'Mechanical Engineering (B.Sc.)' or 'Electrical and Electronic Engineering (B.Sc.)'. Some engineering courses also require a B2 certificate for enrolment in the Master's degree program, which you can prove with our examinations.
For more information, here are the links of some courses of study:

You are also welcome to seek advice at the university regarding the admission requirements or the language skills to be achieved. Here are the links:

Some employers also accept our certificates. Please inform yourself beforehand which certificate you should present. You are welcome to consult us if you tell us what you need your certificate for.
How are the aledu exams structured?

When will I get the result?
You will receive your result within one week. In exceptional cases it can take up to two weeks. For an additional fee of 30 € you can receive the result and, if you pass, the certificate directly on the following Monday.
