Test Center for German as a Foreign Language | English | French

Since 2018, the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld is official test center for TestDaF (Test for German as a Foreign Language), which can be taken on campus several times a year.

Additionally, our test center also offers two other tests on campus that were developed by the TestDaF Institute, TestAS (Test for Academic Studies) for international students who want to study in Germany, and onSET (Online language placement test German or English).

In the context of our Continuing Education Program of the Institute for International and Digital Communication (InDi), we also offer two other Tests:

• The DFP (Diplôme de français professionnel) of the French Chamber of Industry and Commerce (Chambre de commerce et d’industrie de Paris Ile-de-France, CCIP) ideally prepares you for the Francophone workplace.  At the Environment Campus Birkenfeld, you can take the test at levels A2 and B1.
