Low level language certificates.

[Hedonologist]

Are there any certificates one can take in the UK at a beginners/intermediate level?

I am not fluent in advanced German, but I am comfortable at conversational level and was wondering if there are any certifications I can take to demonstrate this? I am aware of some professional certifications but these are only for near native level speakers.

I would recommend taking an exam through the Goethe Institute. It's the premier organization for German as a foreign language and they have offices/offer testing all over the world. You can take any level of German (using the standard European system of A1, A2, B1, etc.). It's not only generally accepted as proof of proficiency, but they're definitely not just for advanced speakers! They also offer classes specifically tailored to their own tests, but you can of course take the test without the class.
