Language Certificates // BULATS //ZDfB

[linguaholic]

In the subforum "German Exams" there is already an entry about the ZD (Zertifikat Deutsch), which is probably the most popular German language certificate for foreign learners of German. However, there are also some more specialized German tests, particularly for business. I would like to mention the ZDfB (Deutsch für den Beruf) and the BULATS, which are language certificates for "Business  German". They both test a high level of language competence for business German. They are not suitable for everyone, but might be appropriate for people having the right background and training.

You can find more information on the official homepage of the BULATS:

and regarding the ZDfB, you will find information here:
