Deutsch-Test für den Beruf
Participants in the B2 and C1 basic vocational language course take the mandatory German Test for the Profession (DTB) at the end of the course. Their general job-related German skills are tested based on internationally recognized job descriptions - not the specialist language of a particular profession. The exam also tests your ability to act linguistically in a German-speaking workplace in an appropriate manner across all professional fields.
The DTB exam consists of a written part (125 minutes) and an oral part (16 minutes).
The following skills are tested in the written exam:
Reading (approx. 45 minutes)
Reading and writing (approx. 20 minutes)
Listening (approx. 20 minutes)
Listening and writing (approx. 5 minutes)
Language components and writing (approx. 35 minutes)
This is followed by the oral part of the test (without preparation time) lasting approx. 16 minutes.
In order to be able to take the German Test for the Profession (DTB), you must have previously taken part in a vocational language course sponsored by the BAMF.
Participation as a "self-payer" is not possible.
You will receive a certificate from telc GmbH or a result sheet as proof of your test.
