Course information

Contents
The Turbo Evening Courses are designed for motivated and language-oriented individuals who want to learn German quickly, at a high level, and with a clear goal in mind. The lessons promote focused learning and cover everyday-relevant topics as well as information about life in Switzerland.

Learning progression: One CEFR level (A1 / A2 / B1) is completed in just 18 weeks. With intensive support, participants can progress from A1 to B1 in only 14 months.
Those who complete at least two CEFR levels will receive free registration for the official fide or telc exam – with no additional examination fees.
