What is different about Siegen
Illness costs you the registration fee only
The county vhs refunds all but the registration fee if you submit a medical certificate within five working days of the exam. Compare Fürth, where after the deadline nothing can be changed at all.
The DTZ is course-only here
The city vhs states outright that people outside the integration course system cannot sit the DTZ. Kassel, about two hours away, accepts externals who hold a BAMF reference number.
Two Volkshochschulen, two programmes
The city and county vhs run different exams with different fees and contacts. Check which one holds the exam you need before writing to either.
