Do I need to know any German before I start?
No. German A1 starts from zero. If you've learned some German already, tell us what you know and we'll suggest the right level.
Which level do I need for Germany?
It depends on your plans. B1 is often asked for by Ausbildung (vocational training) programmes and for visas, and B2 is usually needed for nursing recognition. Requirements differ between programmes and change over time, so always confirm with your employer, school or the embassy.
Do you prepare students for the Goethe and ÖSD exams?
Yes. German B2 ends with Goethe / ÖSD B2 preparation, and our 3-week B2 Exam Preparation course is open to external candidates too.
