If you already know some German and wish to enrol for one of our courses, we offer you a free assessment test. Once you have booked the assessment test on our website, an access code as well as further instructions will be emailed to you. Afterwards we will conduct an informal interview with you which will help us to rate your level of German as closely as possible and to find the best course for you.
Which level of German are you?
You can book all our courses and exams via the web shop, and we ask you to pay contactless for all our services.
In case of cancellation, the following fees apply:
a) Up to 4 weeks before beginning of course 10% of course fee,
b) Up to 1 week before beginning of course 20% of course fee,
c) Up to 1 day before beginning of course 30% of course fee,
d) After course begins 100% of course fee.
Students should consider their personal commitments and circumstances before enrolment, as we regret that no fees are refundable once the course has started.
We reserve the right to cancel classes with fewer than 10 students up to 24 hours before a course is due to start. In this case we will give you a full refund of the course fee paid. No other costs except the course fee will be refunded.
