German exam centres in Belgium
Belgium has three official languages and German is one of them, spoken in the eastern cantons around Eupen. That gives the country two quite different exam routes: the Goethe-Institut in Brussels for the full A1 to C2 range plus TestDaF, and a telc centre in Eupen serving the German-speaking community itself.

Before you book
What is different about Belgium
German is an official language here
The eastern cantons around Eupen and Sankt Vith form Belgium’s German-speaking community. If you live there, a German certificate may be needed for local employment rather than for emigrating - check which certificate your employer actually names.
Two cities, two boards
Brussels examines Goethe and TestDaF; Eupen examines telc. There is no city where both run, so the board you need decides where you travel.
Brussels covers the EU institutions
The Goethe-Test PRO for professional German is offered in Brussels alongside the standard certificates, which matters if your employer wants workplace German assessed rather than a CEFR certificate.
ÖSD is not verified here
ÖSD publishes no register we can read, so Belgian ÖSD coverage is unknown to us rather than absent. Use ÖSD’s own finder if your file names the Austrian diploma.
Booked a date? Now get the score.
Sitting the exam abroad usually means one shot and a long wait for the next date. Practise in the real format first - Goethe, telc or DTZ - and let the analytics show which module still needs the weeks you have left.
FAQ
Taking a German exam in Belgium
Where can I take a German exam in Belgium?
At the Goethe-Institut, Rue Belliard 58 in Brussels, which examines A1 to C2 plus TestDaF and the Goethe-Test PRO; or at KAP in Eupen, a telc centre in the German-speaking community.
Can I sit a German exam outside Brussels?
Yes, in Eupen at KAP on Gülcherstrasse, which examines telc. It is the only verified centre outside the capital and it serves Belgium’s German-speaking eastern cantons.
Where can I take TestDaF in Belgium?
The Goethe-Institut Brussels lists TestDaF among its exams, but booking runs centrally on testdaf.de rather than through the institute. It covers B2 to C1 for university admission.
Do I need a German certificate if I live in the German-speaking community?
Sometimes, for local employment or a qualification, rather than for moving abroad. Employers there do not all ask for the same board, so confirm whether telc, Goethe or something else is required before booking.
