For the first time in over 67 years, Sri Lankan students and professionals finally have access to a better and more practical way to take German language exams, especially those looking to move to Germany, Austria, or Switzerland. The ÖSD (Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch) is an internationally recognized German language certification system, offering exams from beginner level (A1) to advanced (C2). It’s officially recognized by embassies, universities in over 40 countries, and top employers in the German-speaking world. Unlike some other certifications, ÖSD is known for being student-friendly, well-structured, and highly respected.

Germany, which has the world’s third-largest economy, continues to be one of the most attractive destinations for Sri Lankans. It offers completely free university education for international students—including Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD programs. On top of that, Germany's dual vocational training programs allow students to study for free while earning a monthly stipend of around LKR 500,000. There are also many other paths for migration, such as job-seeker visas, au pair programs, and language learning opportunities.

With so many people trying to migrate or study in Germany, the demand for German exams has skyrocketed. Unfortunately, until now, Sri Lanka only had one exam center, which couldn't keep up. Exams were limited and handed out through a lottery system—you had to register during a 6-hour window and hope for the best. Even if you got a slot, the process was outdated: only in-person registration, only cash payments, and results that took 6–8 weeks (with even longer delays for digital certificates). Many students gave up. Others spent huge amounts traveling to India just to take the exam there.

This situation put a huge strain not only on students, but also on independent German teachers and institutes across Sri Lanka who depend on exam access to keep their programs running. Many questioning their existence in the long run.

That’s why Studyingermany.lk and Grman.lk partnered with ÖSD to bring a new solution to Sri Lanka: Grman Exam. The official ÖSD German certificate Examination in Sri Lanka Grman Exams offers fully online registration with instant digital confirmation, flexible payment options, and results within just 14 days. It’s a major step forward and finally gives students the access, support, and fairness they deserve.

And for the countless small German institutes and teachers across the country—who’ve worked tirelessly with little recognition—this partnership means something even more powerful. Through the Grman Exams Partners Program, they’ll finally get the official recognition, stability, and professional backing they’ve long earned. This isn’t just a change in how exams are offered—this is a new beginning for German language education in Sri Lanka. To enroll for the examinations, visit www.grmanexams.lk or call +94 77 396 8779
