Zertifikat Deutsch für den Beruf (ZDfB) is a worldwide, standard examination in the German language.
The concept of the language examination Certificate in German for Business [Zertifikat Deutsch für den Beruf (ZDfB)] was developed by the German Adult Education Centre Association [Volkshochschulverbands (DVV)] and the Goethe Institute in the early 1990s. Since 1995, it has become the standard examination in German worldwide. The ZDfB builds on the examination Certificate in German [Zertifikat Deutsch] and is level B2 on the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Usually, this means studying for about 120 lessons after successfully completing the level B1 Certificate in German [Zertifikat Deutsch] examination to learn vocationally orientated German to be able to achieve the ZDfB.
The development work of the examination took place in the vocational schools [Pädagogischen Arbeitsstelle] and examination centres [Prüfungszentrale] of the German Adult Education Centre Association. The examination was further developed and organised by telc GmbH, the successor to the examination head office [Weiterbildungs-Testsysteme GmbH (WBT)], which existed from 1998 to 2006.
An extensive description of the learning objectives for the ZDfB and several model or exercise test papers can be obtained from the telc GmbH or the Goethe Institute.
