The DTZ belongs to the course
It is the closing exam of an integration course and is free to its participants. Self-payers will not find a seat here; the nearest open DTZ options are in Nürnberg.
B1 needs speaking plus one more part
The vhs spells out the rule: to be awarded B1 you need B1 in the speaking section and in at least one of listening/reading or writing. Speaking is the one you cannot afford to drop.
