Russian Language Courses For The Preparation
Of Official Russian Exams In Russia

Exam Preparation Course (TRKI) Liden & Denz is an official preparation centre for the Test of Russian as a Foreign Language (TRKI). The exam measures students' linguistic ability for university studies in Russian, either in Russia or their home country. The TRKI is recognized by the Russian Federal Ministry of Education and must be taken in one of the appointed regional exam centres. A TRKI exam can be taken every week of the year. Exam costs are between USD 60 and USD 120 and must be paid directly to the exam centre.

Currently the Russian testing system for speakers of Russian as a Foreign Language consists of beginner and elementary levels as well as four levels of competency in Russian as a Foreign Language and corresponding tests. The most common are:

Elementary Level ТБУ(TBU): certifies that the applicant has acquired basic communicative skills in a number of daily situations. With no Russian skills to start with, it requires on average a 16 week group course and one TRKI exam module to pass this exam.

ТРКИ-1 (TRKI-1): certifies that the applicant has reached an Intermediate Level of communication skills on a variety of social, cultural and professional topics. TRKI-1 allows enrolment in a Russian University. With no Russian skills to start with, it requires on average a 24 week group course and one, maybe two TRKI exam modules to pass this exam.

ТРКИ-2 (TRKI-2): certifies a relatively high level (Upper Intermediate) of communicative competency in all communicative contexts. The certificate involved is required for obtaining Bachelor's and Master's degrees on graduation from Russian higher educational institutions. It takes 400 lessons or 20 weeks in a group course to pass from TRKI-1 to TRKI-2. One or two TRKI exam modules are required to pass this exam.

A TRKI Russian Exam Preparation Course is a combination of a Group Course (Standard or Intensive) or a One-to-one Course and a TRKI Preparation Module. The TRKI Preparation Module is a supplement taken just before the TRKI exam. Each module comprises 5 individual lessons. The number of modules required in order to pass a certain exam is jointly determined by the student and the teacher. We advise students who wish to pass the exam to book one module in advance. If teacher and student decide that this is not enough, another module can be booked directly in our centres.
