An exam on your own date, for a price
WIBI offers individual appointments - €230 at A1/A2 against €170 on a scheduled date, and up to €290 at the higher levels. Expensive, but cheaper than missing a permit deadline.
Nordrhein-Westfalen · 360,000
For a city of 360,000, Wuppertal has unusual exam capacity: three verified centres, one running more than a hundred exams a year, and all three publishing their fees. It is also one of the few places offering individual exam appointments, at a premium, when the scheduled dates do not work.

Booking in this city
WIBI offers individual appointments - €230 at A1/A2 against €170 on a scheduled date, and up to €290 at the higher levels. Expensive, but cheaper than missing a permit deadline.
Akzentschule charges €150 at B1 and B2, WIPA €180 at B1 and €190 at B2, WIBI €175. For the identical certificate that is a €40 spread inside one city - and Akzentschule is the cheapest at both levels.
Akzentschule states outright that it runs telc B1 but no DTZ. WIPA covers the DTZ at €180. Check which licence a centre actually holds before you book the wrong exam.
WIPA schedules the written and oral parts of the DTZ on consecutive days rather than in one sitting. Plan for two afternoons, not one.
Over a hundred exams a year at one centre means Wuppertal often has a date when Düsseldorf and Köln are full - and it is half an hour from both.
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.
