Our course offerings for German as a foreign language

Our selection of German as a foreign language courses encompasses intensive programs, evening courses tailored to conversation and everyday language, and specialized training sessions designed to ready you for language proficiency tests like DSH, TestDaF and Telc C1. With skilled instructors guiding you, you'll effectively apply your language proficiency in both daily interactions and professional settings, fostering confidence in your communication abilities.

In our intensive courses, we offer both long-term and short-term options. The long-term courses last between 5 and 6 months and cover two to three proficiency levels. The short-term courses run for 6 to 11 weeks and cover one proficiency level each. All courses include 30 lessons per week.

Unfortunately, our language courses are not currently available as trainings provided by the Jobcenter. The course fee includes both the learning materials and the fee for an internal language exam.
