Placement Test

Students who have taken a German course can enrol directly in a beginner’s course without taking a placement test.

Those who have studied German before have to take the placement test (except for students who have previously taken German courses at UQAM).

The test is taken online. You’ll have to choose your level in German:

Beginners: A1
Intermediate: A2
Advanced: B1

Once you have taken the test, print or copy the results and contact the program administration assistant to confirm your course choices.
