telc, The European Language Certificates, are the language examinations of the future. They represent a systematic, well thought-out approach to the assessment of foreign languages skills and offer a clearly structured programme of examinations based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages published by the Council of Europe.

What does that mean? It means that all telc examinations assess and evaluate your individual language skills in a meaningful way. And it also means that with telc your language skills will be recognised by more and more people in more and more countries. In other words: telc Certificates help you to demonstrate how well you have mastered the language you are learning - because the examinations are run under the same conditions and with the same assessment procedures no matter where the telc examination was taken.

But what exactly does “telc” mean? These four letters stand for “The European Language Certificates” and an approach to language testing that is increasing in popularity. Each year around 150,000 European Language Certificates are awarded to successful candidates who take telc examinations at one of the many licensed language schools from all areas of education.

International recognition plus clear and meaningful descriptions of language skills for candidates, employers and institutions in all countries – these are good reasons for choosing telc examinations.
