Modular course structure
The modular and sequential course design ensures that you will always find a course level that corresponds to your current language proficiency level. If you already have prior knowledge of German, we will use a placement test to assess your language skills and recommend the appropriate course level. The use of placement tests allows us to put together linguistically homogeneous courses.

A team of trained and professional teachers
Challenge, inspire, motivate and encourage students – our team of experienced and highly qualified teachers does just that, as well as share their knowledge with others. The diverse intercultural background in the classroom requires teachers in the field of German as a Second/Foreign Language to exhibit a high measure of cultural empathy, adaptation and flexibility in order to create and maintain a positive classroom atmosphere.

Learning objective-oriented course progression
The modular and sequential course design is learning objective oriented. The contents and learning progressions of each course level are concise, clearly articulated descriptions of what students should know and be able to do at the end of a specific course level and closely follow the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) as well as the requirements for telc Exams and TestDaF and Examinations. This approach ensures that course participants are adequately and systematically prepared to meet the educational objectives of the respective course levels and official language tests.
