The difference between college and language center
A country generally has 1-2 Goethe Institutes (Beijing and Hong Kong Goethe Institutes in China), whose functions are relatively complete, focusing on the dissemination and exchange of German art, society and knowledge. German language learning and German teacher training are part of its functions. Sometimes there are more than one Goethe Language Center and Examination Certification Center in one country (Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Tianjin, Nanjing, Chongqing, Xi'an Qingdao Shenyang Goethe Language Center), whose main function is to teach German, and also to train German teachers, provide part of the examinations of Goethe Institutes, and actively participate in Sino German cultural exchanges.
Course setting
It is generally divided into standard regular courses, holiday courses, various pre exam training courses, youth courses, and customized courses for enterprises and individuals. In addition, there are online courses distance learning Courses. The length of most courses is two months each, and the class hours are generally 200, 152 and 80. Students can choose corresponding courses according to their German level and time.
Test level setting
according to European Commission The uniform standard for language (GER) is divided into A1 A2. B1. B2. C1 C2。 It is also divided into half levels of A1.1, A1.2, A2.1, B1.1, etc. A1 means zero basis, and C2 means a fairly high language level. Generally speaking, German Professional students reach A2-B1 level after their first year and B1-B2 level after their second year DFT (TestDaF) If you reach the four four point German university entrance criteria, you generally need to take B2-C1 level, that is, 800-1000 class hours of German courses.
Grading test
For those who have a basic knowledge of German, they need to take the Grading Test of Goethe Institut before enrolling in the course. Grading Test is not an exam, and there is no certificate. Most places are free of charge. The test is divided into 60 written questions, 50 minutes, and 10 minutes of oral examination.

DSH Similarities and differences with ZOP
To study in Germany, applicants are required to pass the German examination to prove their solid German foundation and good listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities. There are many examinations and language certificates recognized by German universities. Common ones are:
TestDaF=foreign students apply for the German Proficiency Test for College Entrance, which is administered by Germany Hagen The unified proposition of "Defu Examination Institute" is held many times a year around the world. The results are valid for life and can be participated in an unlimited number of times.
DSH=When foreign students apply for the German entrance examination, they have their own questions, and the examination is held twice a year.
ZOP=Goethe College Central Advanced Examination Certificate.
GSD/KSD=Goethe Institutes' language certificates, which are irregular examinations held by Goethe Institutes.
The B2 certificate of Goethe Institute is also TestDaf The levels of certificates are parallel. It is worth mentioning that some universities allow students to have 600 or 800 class hour certificates in China and then go to Germany to take the DSH exam. However, in this case, they have to go back to China if they have not passed the DSH exam twice abroad. Therefore, it is generally easier for them to enter the society directly after passing the DFH or other examinations and receiving the admission notice.
How long does it take to pass the DFT exam successfully?
This depends on your own situation. Generally speaking, if you can participate in the class with the most class hours for each course, you can take a pre exam training course after learning the four courses of A1-B2, plus a week's rest after the end of each course, it may take 10 months or more. Of course, there are also some strong people who have mastered a language in a short time.
