ÖSD exams
We are a licenced exam center licenced by the Austrian German Diploma institute in Vienna, ÖSD for short. These exams are internationally recognized, so the acquired certificates serve as a valid proof of knowledge of the German language.
You can submit this certificate in other countries, which includes institutions and authorities in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, as proof of language skills when looking employment, enrolling in studies or attending other educational programs, as well as for the regulation of residence status and employment for non-EU citizens, as well as for other purposes.
You can find example tests and other information about the exams at www.osd.at .
Language proficiency levels
The ÖSD exams are based on the criteria of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
This means we have different levels of language proficiency (A1 - C2), and within each level we test the knowledge of four skills: understanding of what is read and heard, as well as competence in speaking and writing a foreign language.
