ZMP
ZMP stands for Zentrale Mittelstufenprüfung and is another stage when learning German as a foreign language. It is set at B2/C1 levels.
It is the level for which the most teaching resources exist, as it is the first certificate that can realistically be used to apply for a job or a study place in Germany. Starting a business may also require the owner to prove this level of German.
Students do not necessarily have to take the ZMP course in order to take the exam. There are self-study materials from the Goethe Institute that allow them to practise for the exam.
