Two or three sittings a month
Linguaviva runs telc exams two to three times a month, so a missed date costs a fortnight rather than a season. That is better availability than most cities this size.

German exam centres in Hagen
Hagen has two licensed providers between them covering telc from A1 right up to C2, the DTZ and the citizenship test, with sittings two to three times a month. For a city of 190,000 that is decent capacity - and Dortmund is twenty minutes away if a date does not fit.

What is different about Hagen
The full range, locally
Between the two centres you can sit anything from telc A1 to C2 without leaving Hagen - unusual outside the big cities, where the ends of the range often mean travelling.
Citizenship test in the same place
The Deutsche Sprachakademie runs the Leben in Deutschland test alongside its language exams, so a naturalisation file can be assembled from one provider.
Dortmund and Bochum are close
Twenty minutes to Dortmund, which has four verified centres including one selling single exam components, and Bochum is similar. Worth checking if the Hagen calendar is full.
