The German Test for the Workplace is the final exam for vocational language courses. The exam assesses whether participants have met the language requirements of the respective vocational language course. It evaluates their ability to communicate effectively in work-related situations.

The DTB exams were developed by telc on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and under the technical supervision of the BAMF. They are administered nationwide according to uniform guidelines. The exam takes place at our location.

You may take the exam only after completing the vocational language course in its entirety. If you do not achieve the desired result, we will advise you on your options for retaking the exam and on how to proceed.
