Course information

Contents
You will learn the Latin alphabet, numbers, and basic reading and writing techniques. You will expand your oral communication for everyday life and build important learning strategies.

You improve your reading and writing skills and can communicate more and more confidently in everyday life. After completing the literacy process, entry into advanced German courses is possible.
Procedure
Once you have registered, you will be contacted by the secretariat to clarify open questions. Course times cannot be freely selected; a level usually takes place only once.
Costs
CHF 1,640.-
Childcare CHF 1,400.- per child.

Further Information

Individuals who are not yet familiar with the Latin alphabet and are unable to read or write, or can only do so very slowly.

A free placement test is required. You should also be willing to learn independently outside of the course.

The learning of the German language is taught in a language-action-oriented and internally differentiated manner, taking into account the needs of the participants and their own resources. A textbook serves as the basis. Participants are also prepared for the world of work.

Before registration, a free placement test is offered on-site so that the person can be assigned to the appropriate course.

All participants who attend regularly (80%) will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the course.

The course room will be communicated to you via SMS on the Friday before the course starts.

Withdrawal from the "Literacy" course is possible free of charge up to 7 calendar days before the start of the course. If the course conditions (course times and level) were not yet known at the time of registration, the registration can be withdrawn free of charge until they are announced.

For withdrawal during the first 7 calendar days from the start, costs of CHF 450.- will be incurred.
