What is different about Darmstadt
The nursing exam is local
telc B1-B2 Pflege runs at MONDIALE-Testing. Nurses recognising a foreign qualification usually have to travel for it; in Darmstadt they do not.
€35 for registering late at the vhs
The Volkshochschule charges an extra €35 per person on telc and Goethe exams if a late registration can be accepted at all, and there are no reduced fees.
Frankfurt is 20 minutes away
If the level or date you need is not running here, Frankfurt has a Goethe-Institut and several telc centres, and the S-Bahn takes about 20 minutes.
