We offer you a selection of more than 50 German courses at almost any time of the day or evening. Our offer includes courses for beginners as well as for advanced learners. Our courses prepare you systematically for an apprenticeship, for a career or for starting university.

By the way: Many courses are subsidised by the state, so you only have to pay a portion of the rate or there may be no costs at all. Please give us a call and make an appointment for a consultation. In a personal meeting and with a free placement test, we will find out together how good your German already is and which course is best for you.
