How does it work?

Contractual collaboration

Exam partnership means your school will conduct and grade examinations independently, but in collaboration with us. You name the person responsible for the orderly conduct of exams and the guarantee of confidential handling of exam materials.

Examiner certification

Goethe exams may only be conducted by qualified examiners. Therefore, we will train and certify your German teachers. The qualification (a worldwide online process) is offered once a year from mid-August to late October. To become an examiner for the Goethe-Institut, teachers must have substantial experience teaching German as a foreign / second language (i.e. university, DLL or similar).

Scheduling exam datesn

Exam dates will be scheduled early, in consultation with the Goethe-Institut (year-round where possible)

Preparing exam candidates

Your German teachers will prepare students for the exams and register them for the appropriate examination dates.

Conducting the exams

The Goethe-Institut will provide you with all relevant examination materials. You will conduct the examination with at least three certified examiners at your school. Examiners may not examine their own students. After the examiners have graded the papers, all materials are sent back to the Goethe-Institut.

Certificates

The Goethe-Institut will then issue the Goethe-Zertifikate and/or certificates of attendance for your pupils and send them to your school.
