You can cancel or reschedule your exam free of charge up to 4 weeks before the exam date. After this deadline, this is no longer possible.  If you register within the last 30 days before the exam, you cannot cancel free of charge. After that, the full exam fee will be charged.

In that case, a refund of the examination fee will no longer be possible.

In a combined examination, you sit both the written and oral parts on the same day. It is important that you keep the whole day free, as there may be a long break between the written and oral examinations. 

At the DeutschAkademie in Vienna, Hamburg and Munich, you can also sit partial exams – either just the oral part or just the written part. This allows you to easily complete whatever you still need to pass the full exam.

Requirements for a partial examination:
An examination of the same format must have been taken within the last 12 months and a results sheet must be provided.

If you require special examination arrangements due to a disability, please do not hesitate to contact us. To ensure the examination is accessible, you must register with us at least 4 weeks before the examination, and we require a medical certificate or equivalent documentation that specifies in detail the nature and degree of your permanent disability, preferably using ICD codes. The certificate must not be more than 2 years old and must be submitted in German or English. Alternatively, a certified translation into one of these two languages must be sent to us in addition to the original certificate.
