German Courses
We offer German courses of different formats and proficiency levels to suit each learner’s individual needs. All of our German courses involve small groups in which every student is supported individually, thus ensuring that his or her German improves rapidly.
We offer courses on a regular basis for all of the levels specified by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), from A1 to C1.
The levels are defined as follows:
-
Deutsch A1, A2: Basic language skills.
-
Deutsch B1, B2: A more independent use of language and the use of more advanced vocabulary.
-
Deutsch C1: Advanced language users with skills sufficient for academic work.
Intensive German Courses
Our Intensive German courses are full-time courses aimed at students or professionals who need to learn German as swiftly and efficiently as possible, either because they need to provide proof of advanced German language proficiency before they can enrol at a German university or because they have landed their dream job in Germany and quickly need to hone their language skills.
Our Intensive German courses are also suitable for participants who wish to go on to take one of our Foundation Courses but have not yet reached the required B2 proficiency level.
Most learners require two months of intensive tuition to progress from one CEFR proficiency level to the next, e.g., from B1 to B2.
