Taking a preparatory course is not mandatory. However, our experience shows that the chances of passing the telc exam are significantly higher after a preparatory course. In any case, you should have already completed the relevant level and familiarized yourself with the exam format. On telc.net there are practice tests, some of which are free of charge, and important information about the structure of the exam. If you cannot / do not want to attend a preparation course at Horizonte, we strongly recommend that you prepare for the exam on your own.
