Uncovering a world of opportunities
Bell Language Schools offers a preparation course for the German Goethe-Zertifikat exams.
These are official diplomas that attest to different levels of proficiency and mastery of the German language. They are issued by the Goethe-Institut.
These German examinations are based on a methodology that aims to maximise teaching and learning efficiency. They motivate learners of all ages and levels to improve their German and acquire practical skills for daily life. Each exam is aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) scale to help learners develop their listening, speaking and writing skills.
Whatever your goals and ambitions, Goethe-Zertifikat qualifications are a proof of excellence and are recognised by a wide range of universities and organisations around the world.
