The {{lang|de|Deutsches Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz}}

(engl.: German Language Certificate of the Education Ministers Conference) is an official German language certificate of the German education authorities and the Foreign Office (Germany) certifying levels of knowledge of the German language in schools worldwide. The program, originally intended to stimulate interest in German has run since 1973[1]

and, different from the equivalent certificates of the Goethe Institute, is meant for students at officially recognized schools abroad, either Diploma schools or German Schools Abroad (Deutsche Auslandsschulen). The program prepares the participants for a study in Germany in matters of language and cultural issues. It finishes with an exam and a certification on language competencies on level A2/B1 or B2/C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The certificate together with national school leaving examinations entitles foreign students to apply for university entry in Germany.

Acknowledgement in Germany

Level A2/B1 of the Deutsches Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz (DSD I) is considered by the responsible German authorities as proof that the pupil has reached a level of ability in German that is required for entry to a Studienkolleg in preparation for attending a university in Germany.[2] Level B2/C1 of the Deutsches Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz (DSD II) is considered proof that the graduates have reached a language level in German that is required to be able to directly start a study at a university in Germany.[3] In order to start studying in Germany, students may need to fulfill additional requirements beyond language competencies which can be researched for each individual country in the official database ANABIN.

About the program

Currently there are about 51,000 students in over 65 countries participating in the exams each year.[4] Most of the accredited schools for level A2/B1 are situated in Russia, Poland, the United States, China and Italy.[5] Leading countries offering exams for level B2/C1 of the Deutsches Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz are Russia, Poland, Romania, Croatia and Hungary.[6] All together about 950 schools are accredited[7] by the steering committee of the Deutsches Sprachdiplom. The steering committee 'Zentraler Ausschuss für das Deutsche Sprachdiplom' accounts for the quality of the language certificate. Its members are representatives of the German Foreign Office, the German Federal Office of Administration, the Central Agency for Schools Abroad and the States in Germany. The committee is headed by Mr. Thomas Mayer of Bavaria.[8] The exams of the Deutsches Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz are prepared by the German Federal Office of Administration the Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA) in Cologne which also administers a network of advisors on German around the world.

About the exam

Having learned German in school for several years, high school students can join either the exams on the level A2/B1 or on level B2/C1 depending on the accreditations of their school. All exams are free of charge, fixed dates for the exams are in December and March (Northern Hemisphere) and in August (Southern Hemisphere). Each candidate must be registered by the school and needs approval by the German side. The student is only allowed to take part twice on each level. The test comprises listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing skills, and oral communication of the candidate. The written parts of the test are done in classes and the oral part individually in front of a commission. All four competencies must be completed with a certain score in order to obtain the diploma.[9]

In order to offer exams, each school must be registered and accredited by the German institutions. Schools are permitted to register and offer the A2/B1-exams or the B2/C1-exams separately or both together. The German institutions offer support for each participating school consisting of inter alia personal support, training and taking over the chair of the examination committee by personnel from Germany.[10]
