Accepted certificates
Take certificates from recognised providers, for example the Goethe-Institut, telc or TestDaF/ÖSD, as accepted by the receiving office. The Goethe-Institut in Egypt, exam dates and fees should be taken from its site. Free self-study: Deutsche Welle's Learn German.
Plan realistically: reaching B1 from zero often takes 6 to 12 months of regular study. Do not pay up front for "guaranteed pass" courses (scams).
