What is German B2 level?
B2 is the fourth of the six CEFR levels: upper intermediate, the higher of the two independent levels. The Goethe-Institut describes its B2 exam as confirming advanced language skills.
With a German B2 certificate you show that you can:
- Grasp the main content of complex texts on concrete and abstract topics, and follow specialised discussions in your own field
- Speak so spontaneously and fluently that a normal conversation with native speakers is possible without strain on either side
- Express yourself clearly and in detail on many topics, explain your point of view and weigh advantages and disadvantages

How the German B2 classes run
Live online, so you join from any city in India. Trainers include Raj, who studied at TU Munich in a German-taught program.
3 hours live, Monday to Friday
120 hours of class in 8 weeks, plus about 2 hours of your own practice on each class day.
You speak in every class
Batches of 10 to 12, with 10 to 15 minutes of speaking practice in every class. The B2 speaking exam is a presentation and a discussion, so you practise putting an argument and answering one.
You never fall behind
Every class is recorded, and you can send your doubts on WhatsApp between classes.
A mock test every week
So the B2 exam pattern is familiar before exam day.
Exam-pass promise: if you don't clear the Goethe or telc B2 exam, you repeat the B2 batch without paying again. This needs at least 80% attendance and the exam taken within 3 months of finishing the level.

What German B2 is enough for
These are the usual requirements. Some employers, schools and German states ask for more, so check the official page for your case.
Nurses
For the recognition of a nursing qualification you need German at B2 or above.
Studienkolleg
B2 is enough to sit the Studienkolleg entrance test, the route to a bachelor's degree.
Doctors
Doctors need B2 first, and then the C1 medical language exam for their licence.
Opportunity Card
German B2 adds 3 points on the points route, the most that German can add.
B2 is accepted by some universities, but most German-taught degrees ask for DSH-2 or TestDaF 4, which is about C1.
