Can I take an official language exam at your school?

Our courses will prepare you for the ÖSD exams. At the end of each course we will conduct a practice test. The official exams take place at a partner school. We will provide you with the needed contact information.

Our courses are specifically designed to help you prepare for the ÖSD exams, although taking an official exam is not required unless you need it. You can choose to enroll in our language courses without needing to take a test. For each language level, after completing every second part (e.g., A1.2 or A2.2), we offer a practice test to help you assess your progress. Upon finishing the course, you will receive a certificate of attendance from us, confirming your participation.

If you wish to take an official ÖSD exam, it is held at a separate location for an additional fee. We are happy to assist you in scheduling the exam date if needed. ÖSD exams are internationally recognized and range from A1 to C2 levels. These exams are structured according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), ensuring they align with widely accepted language proficiency standards.

In 2019, the ÖSD exams underwent an update, introducing a more flexible format that allows candidates to take different modules either individually or in combination, except for the ÖSD Integration exams. For example, the exams that consist of two modules—Written (Reading, Listening, Writing) and Oral (Speaking)—can be taken separately or together. On the other hand, exams such as the ÖSD Zertifikat B1 and ÖSD Zertifikat C2 include four modules (Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking) and can also be completed individually or in combination.
