Goethe Zertificats / Sprachdiplom
Goethe-Zertifikat A1 to C2, Kleines Deutsches Sprachdiplom and Großes Deutsches Sprachdiplom are official German as a Foreign Language proficiency qualifications. They are recognised worldwide.
Kleines Deutsches Sprachdiplom (KDS) equates to level C2, the sixth and highest level on the six-level competency scale defined by the Council of Europe's Common European Framework for Modern Languages (CEF).
The Großes Deutsches Sprachdiplom (GDS) equates to level C2+ which is beyond the scale and indicates the highest level of language competence one can acquire.
The KDS and GDS allow you to bypass the language entrance examination at universities. Like the TestDaF, they are proof of your German language competency and allow you to study at a German university.
During these courses, your child will be taught the language and examination-specific skills to meet the requirements of these exams.
