• listening comprehension
• reading comprehension
• language elements
• writing (letter/email)

Oral part

• usually conducted in pairs
• may take place on the same day or up to 7 days after the written exam
• administered by licensed telc examiners

The exam is designed to assess the practical use of the Polish language in everyday and professional communication situations.
