How does the Exam preparation in a group work?
  • First, you choose the Exam preparation in a group course at the language level at which you would like to take your German exam and then you book the course at your preferred date.
  • An Exam preparation in a group course has a total of 20 lessons (one lesson = 45 minutes). In Göttingen, the lessons are spread over five course days and take place online. This means that you study for one week and have four lessons per course day. In Bremen, the 20 lessons are either spread over 4 course dates (5 lessons per day, Monday to Thursday) or 10 course dates (2 lessons on Tuesday and Thursday); the lessons are live on site.
