The GAI offers quarterly German Goethe Institut exams. These exams correspond to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and generally range from level A1 for beginners to C2 for the most advanced language learners. For the July Exams however, they will be limited to A1-B1 due to a personell shortage. They are recognized by the German Government for Visa requirements, as well as employers and German universities. For language requirement fulfillment in the United States, please contact your specific US college or university, as each has their own regulations and procedures.
***For the levels B2 and C1 we recommend to only sign up for this exam if a last minute change of testing date is possible for the candidate. Due to a medical family situation, one of our proctors might not be available on short notice. While this should not affect A1-B1, it would affect B2 and C1. We are currently not testing C2 but hope to offer this exam again in the Fall of '26.***
Please contact Germanic American Institute if you have any questions.
