Booking in this city
inlingua Stuttgart states directly that self-payers with no course entitlement can sit the DTZ. That is the answer to the most common question in this city, and it saves the detour of enrolling in a course you do not need.
Fees are stated openly: €166.60 at A1 and A2, €190.40 at B1 and B2, €249.90 at C1 and C2. Use them as a benchmark when a school quotes you something higher.
The vhs runs the language exams, the Leben in Deutschland test and the Einbürgerungstest. If you are working towards naturalisation, you can schedule the language certificate and the knowledge test with one provider.
The Anglo-German Institute says outright that in principle anyone can register for a telc exam with valid photo ID. In a country where several centres restrict exams to their own students, that is worth knowing.
inlingua €166.60/€190.40/€249.90 by level, Anglo-German €150 at A1 up to €220 at C1 Hochschule, and the vhs covering the DTZ and citizenship test. Compare before booking - the A1 gap alone is €16.
Two sittings a month at a private centre means a missed date costs you a fortnight rather than a season - useful if your permit renewal has a fixed cut-off.
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.
