30 Kakramadu Road, next to NAFTI, Cantonments, Accra
Next to the National Film and Television Institute. Results are published on the institute’s online platform rather than posted.
We do not publish individual sitting dates: they change too often to be safe. Follow the centre link for the current calendar.
Before you book
The institute publishes results on its own platform rather than sending them out. Keep the login you are given at registration - chasing it afterwards costs days you may not have if a university deadline is close.
German universities teaching in German normally ask for TestDaF or Goethe-Zertifikat C1. Both run in Accra, but they are different exams in format and scoring - check which one your admission letter actually names.
Accra is the only verified exam location in Ghana. From Kumasi or Tamale that is a serious journey, so book the date and the travel together rather than assuming another sitting will follow shortly.
Study and work agents frequently quote levels that are out of date or simply wrong. Ask the university, employer or German mission handling your case and keep the answer in writing before you pay for an exam.
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.

Through the Goethe-Institut’s online results platform, using the access you are given at registration. Results are not posted, so keep those details safe if you are working to a deadline.
For programmes taught in German, normally TestDaF or Goethe-Zertifikat C1. Both are available in Accra, but they are different exams - read your admission letter carefully rather than assuming they are interchangeable.
We checked telc’s own centre register and it lists no examination centre in Ghana, and we could not verify one independently. Treat that as “none found” rather than “none exists”: the register lags reality in places - Vietnam has two licensed telc centres that do not appear in it - and ÖSD publishes no register we can read. If you know of a centre here, send us the link to its exam page and we will check it and add it.
The exam boards maintain their own centre finders. They are the authoritative list.
