Africa · 1 verified centre
Tanzania runs its German exams through the Goethe-Institut in Dar es Salaam, in Upanga. It covers the full Goethe-Zertifikat ladder from A1 to C2 plus TestDaF for university admission. Nursing and vocational recruitment to Germany has grown quickly in East Africa, and B1 and B2 are the levels most candidates need.
Where to sit the exam
Each centre was checked on the exam board's own website. Dates and fees change, so confirm directly with the centre before you pay or travel.
Alykhan Road No. 63, opposite the Jamatkhana mosque, Upanga, Dar es Salaam
Postal address: P.O. Box 9541, Dar es Salaam. The institute gives the Jamatkhana mosque opposite as its landmark, which is the easier way to find it.
We do not publish individual sitting dates: they change too often to be safe. Follow the centre link for the current calendar.
Before you book
Dar es Salaam is the only verified exam location in Tanzania. From Arusha, Mwanza or Zanzibar that means a flight or a long bus, so book the date and the travel together rather than hoping for a nearer sitting.
Vocational placements in Germany usually ask for B1 and nursing recognition for B2. Both run here, so the constraint is the calendar rather than the level - register as soon as a window opens.
If the Dar es Salaam calendar does not suit, Goethe-Institut Nairobi examines the same range and is a short flight away. The certificate is identical wherever you sit it.
The institute is on Alykhan Road in Upanga, directly opposite the Jamatkhana mosque. It gives that landmark itself, which suggests the street number alone is not enough.
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.
FAQ
At the Goethe-Institut in Dar es Salaam, Alykhan Road No. 63 in Upanga, opposite the Jamatkhana mosque. It examines the full Goethe-Zertifikat range from A1 to C2 plus TestDaF.
Not at any location we could verify. Dar es Salaam is the only confirmed centre. We publish a city once its centre is confirmed rather than listing one with nothing behind it.
Goethe-Institut Nairobi examines the same range and is a short flight away. The certificate is the same wherever you sit it, so compare both calendars before waiting months for a local date.
We checked telc’s own centre register and it lists none, and ÖSD publishes no register we can read. Treat that as "none found" rather than "none exists", and ask any school claiming to examine either board for its centre number.
The exam boards maintain their own centre finders. They are the authoritative list.
