German exam centres in Pforzheim

What is different about Pforzheim
Limited places, booked out early
The centre warns that exams can be fully booked before registration formally closes. Treat the opening of the window as your deadline, not the end of it.
The fee is quoted at registration
telc prices are not published online - you learn the amount when you register. The citizenship test is the exception at a flat €25.
Karlsruhe and Stuttgart are nearby
Karlsruhe is half an hour away with three verified centres, Stuttgart about 45 minutes with four - both publish their prices, which Pforzheim does not.
