telc The European Language Certificates - is an examination system based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: learning, teaching, assessment of the Council of Europe.

telc was developed and is administered by non-profit organization WBT (Weiterbildungs-Testsysteme GmbH - later telc GmbH) which is a member of ALTE - Association of European Language Certification Organizations - and together with other prestigious organizations such as Goethe Institute, University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations or Alliance Française sets the standards for the best language exams in Europe.

Telc CERTIFICATE can be obtained after passing an exam which tests language skills, with particular emphasis on communication skills.

What distinguishes telc exams from other exams is their comparability. This means that an exam passed e.g. in English at B2 (higher intermediate level) is the same as a B2 exam passed in French or German at the same level. This comparability is achieved due to the fact that the language certificates in the telc system are identical for all the languages offered in the system, and the examination rules are common for all the countries participating in this programme. This makes the grade on the certificate also comparable. Another important feature of telc certificates is their specific focus on developing communication skills necessary in both private and professional contacts. telc exams give an opportunity to check one's knowledge of not only general language, but also academic, business and technical languages.
