Hello! I’d like to ask: which gives more points for the Chancenkarte, work experience or language skills?
Thanks in advance.
For German A1 you do not get any points. You can earn
As you can see, reaching the B2 level already gives you half of the total points you need.
I hope that helps :).
Hey Gul, you can refer to the following bullet points:
- German language skills level B2: 3 points
- German language skills level B1: 2 points
- German language skills level A2: 1 point
- English language skills level C1: 1 point
- Professional experience of at least 5 years from the last 7 years: 3 points
- Professional experience of at least 2 years from the last 5 years: 2 points
Hope you find it useful :)
