Telc
Englisch
The Telc B1 exam is a standardized language test that assesses the ability to communicate in German in everyday life, work, and simple formal situations. It serves as an official certificate of B1-level proficiency and is often required for naturalization or integration purposes.
Many individuals take this test to extend their residence permit, apply for German citizenship, or gain recognition of professional qualifications. Employers and educational institutions increasingly request proof of this language level.
The exam consists of a written and an oral section. Both parts assess different communication skills and are based on realistic language scenarios.
The oral part is usually done in pairs and includes:
The entire Telc B1 exam takes about 2.5 to 3 hours:
The exam is evaluated by trained assessors according to standardized criteria. To pass, candidates must achieve at least 60% in both the written and oral parts. Retaking individual sections is often possible if one part is failed.

Hanna Boltinova: „Thanks to the preparation with Olena, I successfully passed the B1 exam. The online lessons were interesting, I was motivated to do homework, and developed a real interest in the German language ☺️ Thank you, Olena — I recommend you to everyone!“
Anna Chin: „Hello, from August to October I prepared for the B1 exam with Olena. As a result, I passed the exam and received my B1 certificate. I would like to say that the training with Olena gave me more knowledge than the courses, because during those months my listening, reading, and writing skills improved noticeably. Speaking, of course, depends on vocabulary, but we practiced dialogues and naturally spoke more together as well.“
sonLION: „The website (BO Vorbereitung) helped me a lot. It contains many writing examples. I recommend studying the parts that never change in complaint letters, requests, or forum posts so that you can reuse them in many other contexts.“
