Start Deustch 1 Examination

Only Goethe Institut Manila is recognized by the German Embassy to conduct the A1 Deutsch Exam. You can check their schedules for Manila and Cebu and will be conducted 2-3 examinees. To register, you will need to bring the following:

1. original and photocopy of your passport
2. passport photo
3. completely filled up Exam Registration Form
4. Examination fee or proof of payment
** According to my teacher, the examination in Cebu will cost around 7,500php. This sound very pricey if you compare this in Manila. This is so because you actually shoulder the air fare of the examiner(s), the place where they will stay and the rental for the conference room during the exam.

Just to give you an overview, these are the categories of the said examination:

I. Written Exam
