"Fit in Deutsch 1" and "Fit in Deutsch 2" are two
new international examinations for young learners
of German aged 10 -15 years who have reached the
level of A1 or A2 of the Common European
Framework of Languages. Fit in Deutsch 1 is
normally taken by students who have covered about
110 to 130 lessons of 45 minutes in our schools

Deutsch 2 would normally be taken at the end of

students current level of knowledge, but also
acts as motivation to continue learning.

  states, to make it easier to recognise each
  others language certificates, and to promote
  co-operation between educational establishments
  in the various countries.
