Vocational Language Courses – Goal-Oriented
We offer basic courses in B2 and C1 as well as special courses in A2 and B1, which teach German language skills for all professions. The content and didactics of the courses are based on BAMF concepts.
In addition to general communication with colleagues, customers and superiors, you will learn, for example, how to write professional emails, understand instructions or prepare job applications. Language skills are acquired in the context of relevant content from the world of work.
The courses conclude after 400 or 500 teaching units with the “Deutsch Test für den Beruf” (DTB) exam at the appropriate language level.
