Welcome to GERMA – your certification body for CEFR-based language standards.
The CEFR standards create a unified framework for the assessment and validation of language proficiency at an internationally comparable level. They enable the structured classification of language skills into clearly defined proficiency levels (A1–C2) and ensure transparent, consistent, and comparable educational processes. By applying the CEFR standards, teaching, examinations, and learning objectives are systematized, thereby sustainably improving the quality of language education and making it compatible on an international scale.

GERMA Certification Body
GERMA stands for transparent, comparable, and verifiable quality standards in international language education.
GERMA is an international certification body for quality assurance in language education. Our goal is to support and sustainably strengthen language schools in a competitive educational environment through the application of CEFR-based standards.
The CEFR standards help to increase the competitiveness of educational institutions, optimize internal processes, and measurably improve the quality of teaching. High educational quality has a direct impact on an institution’s reputation and long-term success. Therefore, we rely on clear, verifiable standards that enhance efficiency, reduce risks, and enable sustainable development.
GERMA works actively with educational institutions and provides structured certification processes as well as clear quality guidelines to meet the requirements of modern language education. Our aim is to improve the quality of German language instruction internationally by certifying language schools and institutes that meet our defined standards. We provide a reliable foundation for sustainable growth, trust, and long-term success in the education sector.
