Thirty days, or the price changes
The published fees at BÜS apply only to registrations made 30 days before the sitting. Late entries, where possible at all, cost more. This is the single most expensive detail to overlook in Trier.

Booking in this city
What is different about Trier
Pflege and Medizin both run here
telc B1-B2 Pflege at €150 and B2-C1 Medizin at €250. Very few cities offer both, and healthcare workers recognising a foreign qualification usually have to travel a long way for the medical exam.
The DTZ needs 100 course hours
BÜS admits only course participants with at least 100 teaching units behind them. Self-payers cannot book the DTZ in Trier, and the occupational DTB B2 excludes them explicitly too.
Cash at the vhs, in person
The Volkshochschule takes the signed form and the fee in cash at its Domfreihof office. No online booking, and the office closes for a fortnight in July.
