Before you book
The institute is now in the Beirut Digital District in Bachoura. Older listings still circulate, and turning up at a previous address on exam morning is an expensive mistake - read the venue off your confirmation.
The Goethe-Test PRO has a version written for nursing professions, and German recognition authorities sometimes name it rather than accepting a general B2. Confirm which one your file needs before booking a standard exam.
Beirut is the only verified exam location in Lebanon. From Tripoli or the Bekaa that means travel, which belongs in the exam budget from the start.
German universities teaching in German normally ask for TestDaF or Goethe-Zertifikat C1. Both run in Beirut, but they are different exams - read the admission letter rather than assuming they are interchangeable.
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.
