Before you book
Caracas is the only verified exam location. From Maracaibo, Valencia or Mérida that means significant travel, so book the date and the journey in one decision rather than assuming another sitting is close behind.
German universities teaching in German normally ask for TestDaF or Goethe-Zertifikat C1. Both are listed here, but they are different exams in format and scoring - read the admission letter carefully.
Exam fees and accepted payment methods can change at short notice in Venezuela. Confirm both in writing when you register rather than at the counter on the day.
The institute lists TestDaF, but registration runs through testdaf.de rather than the institute, on six fixed dates a year with places allocated in the order they arrive.
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.

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.
