For the ÖSD Certificate C1 exam, participants should be able to communicate in different situations in social and working life, also in more complex contexts. This examination represents proof of a linguistic competence that is already characterised by a high degree of correctness and situation-specific appropriateness. It is particularly aimed at participants who would like to study at a German-speaking university. ÖSD Zertifikat C1 is offered both for learners aged 16 and over and in a variant for young people aged 14 and over (= ÖSD Zertifikat C1 / Jugendliche).
