TELC · START DEUTSCH 1
telc A1 — Start Deutsch 1
Two full Start Deutsch 1 mocks — identical paper to the Goethe version, run at Volkshochschulen and licensed language schools across Germany, usually at a lower exam fee.
THE PAPER — VERIFIED FORMAT
Start Deutsch 1 was developed jointly by the Goethe-Institut and telc — the Goethe and telc versions are the SAME exam: same sections, same tasks, same points. Only the logo on the certificate differs.
