Services for companies

In addition to traditional examinations, the Goethe-Institut also offers very modern, computer-aided testing systems such as ‘Testservice Deutsch für den Beruf’ (BULATS). Companies can use this service to test the foreign language abilities of their employees and job applicants both quickly and at a moderate cost.
