Leverkusen has two centres and they divide the work: Euro-Schulen takes telc A1 to B2 and the citizenship test, while LevBC concentrates on the integration course exams and publishes both its price and its rules in full.

Booking in this city
LevBC closes registration three weeks before each sitting. That is the real deadline in Leverkusen, and it is earlier than most people expect.
The DTZ needs your BAMF reference alongside photo ID or passport. Turning up with only a passport will not get you registered.
LevBC asks candidates to arrive three quarters of an hour before the start, with phones left visible on the table during the exam. Build that into your travel time.
If a residence permit or naturalisation file depends on the certificate, count backwards from eight weeks, not from the exam date.
Booking is the easy half. Sit a full model test in the format you booked - Goethe, telc or DTZ - and let the analytics tell you which module needs the weeks between now and your date.
