TELC exam: who needs it, stages of implementation, examples of tasks

In the summer of 2023, new changes in the rules for obtaining a long-term EU resident card came into force in Poland. Now, in addition to the state certificate of knowledge of the Polish language at a level not lower than B1, foreigners can present a certificate of passing the TELC exam.

Legal basis: Rozporządzenie Ministra Spraw Wewnętrznych i Administracji z dnia 31 maja 2023 r. w sprawie wykazu poświadczeń znajomości języka polskiego potwierdzających znajomość tego języka wymaganą do udzielenia zezwolenia na pobyt rezydenta długoterminowego Unii Europejskiej https://isap.sejm.gov.pl/isap.nsf/DocDetails.xsp?id=WDU20230001076

Why should you pay attention to this exam?

  • The certificate offered by our school is suitable for applying for an EU resident card;
  • Unlike other exams, our TELC exam dates are flexible and not tied to government schedules, allowing them to be held at any time;
  • Depending on the results, you will receive a certificate indicating either B1 or B2 level proficiency;
  • Certificates are typically issued within 6-9 weeks after completing the exam.

How is the exam going?

The exam consists of both written and oral components, which typically take place on the same day. The written portion lasts 115 minutes and includes assessments of listening, reading, writing, and grammar skills. After a short break, the oral part is conducted. This section is done in pairs and includes time for preparation as well as a direct conversation on a given topic. The oral exam takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
You can check your knowledge by taking a practice test, which our administrators can provide upon request. Simply send us an email at biuro@together-school.pl with the phrase "Test TELC."
The cost of the exam (with the certificate) is 900 PLN.
