Frequently asked questions
Do you offer vocational language courses? The job center says they will pay for my course.
We do not offer professional language courses. Self-payers and scholarship holders can attend intensive courses to learn the GENERAL German language at all levels. If you are obliged or entitled to take part in an integration course, you can study with us.
What happens if I don’t get my visa (in time)?
This is not a problem, we can postpone your entry to the course.
Do you also have online courses?
Yes and no. We have the know-how and the technology to offer online and hybrid lessons that are (almost) on a par with face-to-face lessons. However, our intensive courses currently take place exclusively in face-to-face mode. If you have a larger group outside of Bielefeld or Germany, we would be happy to talk to you about an online offer for your group!
Do I have to show a certificate when I register?
No, we do a placement test with all new participants.
Do I have to take a placement test?
Yes, we want to find the right course for you, which is why we test all new participants.
When does the next intensive course start?
Our intensive courses start nine times a year, approximately every five weeks and usually at all levels.
HERE is the overview.Do you have accommodation for me?
No. We had to hand over the halls of residence we used to have to the landlords due to personal requirements. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with an apartment at the moment.
Do you also prepare for exams?
Approximately every four months, we offer the opportunity to book a preparation course for our three major examination formats: telc C1 Hochschule, telc B2 and TestDaF. Click HERE for the overview.
