Warning

The Goethe-Institute Vietnam would like to warn you that there are fraudulent providers who claim to sell solutions to Goethe-Institute exam rates and fake certificates. These people are not associated with the Goethe-Institute and they do not have access to official exam materials.

Please note that distribution and purchase of such materials is illegal. Cheating on an exam will result in a ban from taking further exams. The German foreign representations (embassy, consulate general) can also block you from applying for a visa if you present a forged certificate when applying for a visa.

Protect yourself and do not accept fraudulent offers. Please inform us of any fraudulent attempt (Pruefung-Saigon@goethe.de). Thank you for your support!
