CEFR or Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is an internationally recognised system for grading language ability. The CEFR six-point scale ranges from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient) levels and is not specific to any particular language. Instead, CEFR can be used to standardise ability across approximately 40 different languages.

The A1 German Exam proves that you have acquired the basic language skills. You may require an A1 certificate for a visa, or for a job or to be able to live within a German-speaking country.

Later in university, I studied French from a Goethe like institute back home where I improved on it a bit but stopped after A2.1. When studying German, I could relate to some of the european language concepts like everything having a gender, basic teaching style, etc. My full-time IT job doesn't require knowledge of German at all.
