When will my telc B1-B2 certificate arrive?

It will depend on whether you choose to do the paper exam or the digital exam.

All exams are marked by telc in Germany and you can expect your certificate within 4 weeks (paper form).

Digital certificates for the B1-B2 level in the healthcare sector are normally processed within a timeframe of approximately 2 weeks.

telc has its own processes and the time it takes to mark the exams, produce the certificate and send it to Italk is entirely up to them. The timeframe we have been given, and which you can check on the telc website (telc.net), is only an estimate. We cannot promise you an exact date and delays are possible.

What is the difference between the paper exam and the digital exam?

Both exams are given in our school, but they differ in how they are done. The digital exam is taken on a computer, whereas the traditional exam is taken on paper. Although the digital option costs slightly more, this is compensated for by a faster delivery of results, which are usually about two weeks earlier than the paper form. However, it is at your own risk to take one or the other as there may be delays. We cannot control how quickly telc corrects exams.
