You will improve and expand your German skills in class and through guided self-study. We work with traditional methods (such as books, copies, and supplementary materials) and with modern methods such as apps and digital learning platforms.
This allows you to learn step by step – with support and at your own pace.

A certificate exam is offered and recommended at the end of each level:

The final course times will be set about one week before the course starts. Unfortunately, it is not possible to take preferred times into account.

About one week before the course starts, you will receive the course invitation with the final course times as well as the course invoice.

The course cannot be guaranteed to take place. Changes to course times or cancellation of the course are reserved.

Withdrawal of registration is possible free of charge up to 7 days before the course begins. After that, we charge an administrative fee of CHF 50.–. The cancellation must be submitted in writing.
In the event of withdrawal during the first 4 course days, one quarter of the course fees must be paid in addition to the administrative fee. From the 5th course day onwards, the full course fees must be paid.
If the reasons for withdrawal lie with ECAP, participants will not incur any costs.
