Two weeks at the university
The Sprachenzentrum closes registration roughly a fortnight before each sitting - short by German standards, but the sittings are also less frequent.

What is different about Bayreuth
A2 only if enough people ask
The university examines A1, B1, B2 and C1 as standard, and adds A2 only "bei entsprechender Nachfrage". Ask rather than assume.
The vhs stops at B1
Fine for naturalisation, which needs B1. For B2 or C1 use the university route or travel to Nürnberg, about an hour away.
One portal for Bavarian dates
Language exam dates for every Bavarian vhs sit on a single state portal with prices and deadlines, so Bayreuth can be compared against Bamberg or Nürnberg before booking.

Booking is the easy half. Sit a full model test in the format you booked - Goethe, telc or DTZ - and let the analytics tell you which module needs the weeks between now and your date.
