Goethe, telc, \u00d6SD and TestDaF Fees (2026)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Goethe-Institut in Germany, the 2026 adult fees are \u20ac155 for A1, \u20ac175 for A2, \u20ac259 for B1, \u20ac289 for B2 and \u20ac349 for C1. The B2 exam therefore costs \u20ac289 as a full exam, or \u20ac114 per single module if you only retake part of it. telc and \u00d6SD fees are set by each exam centre, so the same level can cost noticeably different amounts depending on where you register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All figures below were checked on official pages in October 2026. Prices change, and they differ by country, so treat this article as a map and confirm the final number on the booking page of the centre you will actually use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goethe-Institut fees in Germany (2026)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Goethe-Institut publishes a fee list for its institutes in Germany. These are the adult prices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Exam<\/th><th>Full exam fee<\/th><th>Price per module<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Goethe-Zertifikat A1 (Start Deutsch 1)<\/td><td>\u20ac155<\/td><td>not modular<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goethe-Zertifikat A2<\/td><td>\u20ac175<\/td><td>not modular<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goethe-Zertifikat B1<\/td><td>\u20ac259<\/td><td>\u20ac104<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goethe-Zertifikat B2<\/td><td>\u20ac289<\/td><td>\u20ac114<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goethe-Zertifikat C1<\/td><td>\u20ac349<\/td><td>\u20ac114<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goethe-Zertifikat C2 (GDS)<\/td><td>\u20ac359<\/td><td>\u20ac139<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TestDaF (booked at Goethe)<\/td><td>\u20ac215<\/td><td>not modular<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For teenagers, the same list shows A1 (Fit in Deutsch 1) at \u20ac139, A2 (Fit in Deutsch) at \u20ac159, B1 at \u20ac259 and B2 at \u20ac289. For work-related tests, Goethe-Test PRO is \u20ac89 and Goethe-Test PRO Pflege, the healthcare version, is \u20ac159. The page states that the prices are exempt from VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two details matter in practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Course discount.<\/strong> Goethe gives participants of its own courses a 20% discount on the exam fee (not on TestDaF or Goethe-Test PRO). The course must have ended no more than six months before the exam date.<\/li><li><strong>Modules cost more in total.<\/strong> Four B2 modules at \u20ac114 add up to \u20ac456, against \u20ac289 for the full exam. Single modules only make sense as retakes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fees outside Germany differ.<\/strong> Goethe institutes and partner centres in other countries publish their own price lists, often in local currency and sometimes with local taxes. This article does not print prices for other countries, because they cannot be verified in one place. Look at the page of your own centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">telc fees: the centre decides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">telc does not have one price. Its terms state that the licensed exam centres set the final prices for candidates, and its FAQ says each centre sets its own fees. The centre in turn pays telc a fee from a price list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give you a sense of the spread: the vhs Pr\u00fcfungszentrale Sprachen lists telc Deutsch B2 at \u20ac175 for vhs participants and \u20ac205 for external candidates. Your centre may charge more or less, so this is one data point, not a national price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00d6SD fees: also set per centre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00d6SD exams are also priced locally. The language centre of the University of Vienna, for example, publishes a 2026 schedule where B2 is split into \u20ac165 for the written part and \u20ac65 for the oral part (\u20ac230 combined), A2 is \u20ac135 written plus \u20ac50 oral, and B1 is \u20ac60 per module. That schedule belongs to one centre; a centre in Graz or Salzburg may charge differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TestDaF fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TestDaF is for university admission rather than everyday integration. The TestDaF-Institut lists \u20ac215 for the paper-based test and \u20ac210 for the digital test in Germany. It also states that it uses three country groups with different prices, so candidates abroad pay a different amount. Check the fee for your country in the official registration portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick comparison for B2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Provider<\/th><th>B2 example<\/th><th>Who sets the price<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Goethe-Institut Germany<\/td><td>\u20ac289 full, \u20ac114 per module<\/td><td>Goethe-Institut (fee list 2026)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>telc (vhs example)<\/td><td>\u20ac175 vhs participants, \u20ac205 external<\/td><td>Each exam centre<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u00d6SD (University of Vienna example)<\/td><td>\u20ac165 written + \u20ac65 oral<\/td><td>Each exam centre<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TestDaF (Germany)<\/td><td>\u20ac215 paper, \u20ac210 digital<\/td><td>TestDaF-Institut, by country group<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these examples, Goethe in Germany is the most expensive, by roughly \u20ac60 to \u20ac115 for B2. That is not a reason to pick a different exam: the right certificate is the one your purpose requires. If you are unsure which one that is, read <a href=\"\/blog\/telc-b1-vs-dtz-vs-goethe\/\">which exam fits visas, work and Pflege<\/a> before paying for anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practise your German out loud with SipLingo, free to try on iPhone and Android:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"siplingo-store-badges\" style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:center;align-items:center;gap:12px;margin:24px 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/id6783970183\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/app_store.png\" alt=\"Download SipLingo on the App Store\" style=\"height:52px;width:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=ch.zgdevelopment.siplingo&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dblog%26utm_medium%3Dpost%26utm_campaign%3Dgerman-exam-fees-goethe-telc-oesd%26utm_content%3Dbadge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/play_store.png\" alt=\"Get SipLingo on Google Play\" style=\"height:52px;width:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is the Goethe exam so expensive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pages checked for this article do not break down the fee, so any single explanation would be a guess. What can be said is what a fee has to pay for: trained examiners for the speaking and writing parts, exam venues, scoring, and <a href=\"\/blog\/german-certificate-validity\/\">a certificate you can verify online<\/a>. Goethe also runs the same format and marking standards at every centre worldwide, which the institute states openly for B2. Whether that justifies the price is your call; the fee table above is what you actually pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where SipLingo fits into your exam budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cheapest exam is the one you pass on the first attempt, and the speaking module is where many candidates lose points under pressure. <a href=\"https:\/\/siplingo.com\/download?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=german-exam-fees-goethe-telc-oesd&amp;utm_content=inline\">SipLingo (our app)<\/a> lets you rehearse spoken answers in real voice conversations and shows you grammar and word-order corrections in your own language. It does not replace a course, official exam materials or a mock test, and it cannot guarantee a result; it gives you more speaking repetitions before the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to avoid paying twice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Practise the exact format first.<\/strong> Goethe publishes free sample papers on goethe.de. Time yourself on a full module before booking. For B2, the <a href=\"\/blog\/goethe-b2-exam-structure-duration\/\">Goethe B2 structure<\/a> tells you what to expect.<\/li><li><strong>Retake only what failed.<\/strong> Goethe B1 and above can be retaken module by module. Under telc rules, B1 to C2 exams may allow you to repeat only the written or only the oral part within 12 months; check this with your centre because it depends on the exam.<\/li><li><strong>Ask about a course discount.<\/strong> If you are doing a Goethe course anyway, the 20% discount can pay for part of the exam.<\/li><li><strong>Read the cancellation terms before paying.<\/strong> Goethe&#8217;s exam rules say fees already paid are not refunded if you withdraw. telc&#8217;s terms say the full fee is charged for withdrawal or no-show, with an exception when you have a medical certificate. Individual centres may add their own rules.<\/li><li><strong>Do not book the wrong level.<\/strong> A level above your real ability is an expensive experiment.
