What it actually is

The Goethe-Institut runs in-person and online German courses worldwide and issues the Goethe-Zertifikat, the certificate most widely recognised by German employers, universities and immigration authorities. Teaching is professionally qualified and the exam pathway is unambiguous. It is among the most expensive options, and availability and scheduling vary a lot by country — check your local institute rather than the global site.
