Further Information

People who want to learn German or improve their German skills

The courses are organised with childcare for children up to kindergarten entry.

Participants must be willing to study independently outside the course to support their learning progress.

Learning German is taught in an action-oriented and internally differentiated way, taking into account the participants’ needs and their own resources. A coursebook 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 receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the course if they attend regularly (80%).

The room will be communicated to you via SMS.
