German for engineers
German engineering firms hire internationally, but documentation, safety briefings and supplier calls stay in German. Employers ask for B1 or B2, and recognition of a foreign engineering degree often comes with its own language expectation. The certificate is what turns "I speak some German" into a shortlisted application.
Sound familiar?
- Technical German you know; everyday exam German you do not.
- Job ads demand a certificate you have never sat for.
- Relocation timelines are short and exam dates are fixed.
- Company language courses start after you arrive — too late for the application.
How we help
Both levels employers ask for
B1 for most roles, B2 for team lead, client-facing and safety-critical work.
Listening that matches a real meeting
Native-speed audio with several speakers, so a supplier call is not the first time you hear it.
Formal writing, marked properly
The letter and email tasks are graded against the official criteria for the level, with the structure and register errors pointed out in your own text.
One payment
€1.12 per exam. €45 opens every level for three months, with no subscription.

Frequently asked questions
+What German level do engineers need?
B1 is the usual minimum for engineering roles in Germany; B2 is common for lead, client-facing or safety-relevant positions.
+Do I need German for engineering qualification recognition?
The recognition of an engineering degree ("Ingenieur" is a protected title in most Länder) generally involves a language requirement set by the Land. Check with the responsible chamber.
+Which exam should I take, telc or Goethe?
Either is recognised. Goethe has slightly wider international name recognition; telc has more test centres in Germany. We run mocks for both.
