Which course will prepare me best?

Although all of our German courses guarantee a fast learning success, your progression mainly depends on learning intensity and the number of weekly lessons. This is why we would like to advise you taking at least an Intensive Course if you prepare for university studies – the best choice, however, would be a Premium Course. Because the 24 lessons of the Intensive Course will guarantee a continuous progression of your language proficiency. The language exercises are more intensive and will give you more self-confidence using the language in a short time. As soon as you will have reached the required level of proficiency you can register for a 4-week TestDaF preparation course in order to train even more efficiently for the TestDaF exam.

How long does the language preparation take?

It depends on different circumstances how long it takes until you can start studying in Germany. For instance: If your secondary school diploma will not be acknowledged as equivalent to the German High School diploma (Abitur), you have to take a 12 month course at the Studienkolleg preparation school in order to prepare for the Assessment Test. In case your secondary school diploma is accepted as an equivalent the whole procedure will be faster. You only have to prove – by passing either the DSH or the TestDaF exam – that you have sufficient pre knowledge of the German language. An absolute beginner without any pre-knowledge at all, should reckon with approximately 40 weeks of German preparation.
