German exam centres in Krefeld
Krefeld splits its exam provision between the Volkshochschule, which runs the general telc certificates, and a private institute covering the integration-course exams. Neither publishes a full calendar online, so a phone call is usually the fastest route to a date.

What is different about Krefeld
The €150 rate has a condition
The VHS price applies to participants from its own B1 courses. If you are coming in from outside, ask what the external rate is before you plan around it.
A full exam day
The VHS sitting runs from about 08:00 to 17:00 with written and oral parts in one go. Clear the whole day rather than booking anything for the afternoon.
Düsseldorf is 25 minutes away
If the local calendar does not fit, Düsseldorf has five verified centres including the Goethe-Institut and an ÖSD centre, and Mönchengladbach is even closer.
