What is the minimum age for participants?

What are the qualifications of the teachers?

Your teachers are either native German speakers or Thais with an excellent command of German. You will be taught by specially young teachers and very experienced instructors. Our teachers apply modern methodology and a variety of practice techniques. They specialize in the teaching of German as a foreign language and attend regular advanced training courses.

How do the course levels work?

The courses at the Goethe-Institut Thailand follow the levels set out by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): levels range from A1 (beginners) to C2 (almost mother tongue fluency). Depending on the length of the course and speed of learning, attainment of the CEFR levels may be spread over several course levels.

Is the Goethe-Institut course system the same all over the world?

The German courses and exams at the Goethe-Institut build upon and complement each other. Each course is systematically linked to the next. That means you can simply continue where you left off - worldwide - and advance level for level.

Who can enquire about the course progress of a participant?

Information concerning the learning progress of adult participants will only be given to the course participants themselves. They must fill out a form at the language course office if they wish to authorize a third party to receive this information.

Will I get a certification of attendance?

At the end of each course, you will be issued a confirmation of attendance if you were present for at least 70% of the time and completed at least 70% of the content. This is not a qualification certificate. An assessment report can be solicited from the class teacher.

Can I repeat a course?

Participants who wish to repeat a course in order to gain more confidence are entitled to a discount of 50% of the course payment, providing they book immediately after finishing the course.
