Get your German Language Certificate
The ÖSD (Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch = Austrian Language Certification for German Language) is a certified examination format for German as a Foreign Language. ÖSD examinations are internationally recognized and at VHS Bhaktapur, you can take them from levels A1-B2. We are a certified examination center and offer examination seats to internal as well as external students.
If you pass, you will receive a language certificate that is recognized in all of Europe and that will help you apply for your au-pair placement or your visa process (Note: please inquire with the concerned authority, which level you need and whether they accept ÖSD certificates!). The exam consists of four parts: Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. It is a modular exam (which means, that in case you fail your written part but pass speaking, you can repeat only the written part). Like most other German language exams, ÖSD exams are pluricentric, which means that they make use of text and audio materials from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Here you can read the examination rules and regulations (only in German, sorry)
