Registration

You can apply by post or online. If you apply by telephone, you must also confirm this in writing. You can also apply through a Language Travel Agent in your country. Please contact us for addresses of agents in your area.

You can apply as soon as you have decided to take part in a course.

Yes, we always confirm that you have a course place. If after a few days you haven’t heard anything from us, please contact us again, in case we didn’t receive your application.

Tip: please check your spam folder!

No, normally we don’t confirm that we have received your deposit. If you would like to have a confirmation, please request it in writing.

If you’re not sure which level you are, please tell us how long you have been learning German, and approximately how many lessons you have had.

Yes, but please consider that the course will then be more expensive. Basically: the longer you register for, the lower the price. For example if you register for 24 weeks at the start, you pay 3,310 €. If you register at first for 4 weeks, and then extend the course month by month, you pay 3,680 €.

However, please keep in mind that you cannot cancel or shorten the course after it has started. Thus, if you are unsure about how long you can actually stay, it is better to book a shorter course period first and extend the course later. Otherwise you will lose the course payment because we cannot refund you if you discontinue the course.

You might be able to take out insurance against course discontinuation in your home country before you travel.

You can pay the deposit by bank transfer or personally/through a contact person in our office. The rest of the course fees can be paid in our office at the start of the course, or by bank transfer. There are different conditions for students who need a visa (see “visas”). Students who register through a Language Travel Agent should ask the agent about methods of payment.

Yes, that’s also possible. Here are our account details. Please wait for confirmation from us before you transfer the money.

On request we can send you a bill. We will in any case send you a confirmation of your course with a detailed breakdown of the cost.

You can find the course price in the price list in our brochure or in the chart on our website. If you also need a room, please add accommodation costs. Don’t forget that there is a 80 € administration fee for finding accommodation. These costs together add up to the total price.

Accommodation fees are normally paid directly to your host at the start of your stay. You can also pay at the same time as paying your course fees in the office or by bank transfer.

During the year there are no holidays. At the end of the year there is a 2-week Christmas break.

After 12 course weeks you can take a 1-week break, or alternatively you can take 2 weeks off after 24 course weeks. We can add this time to your booking so the original ending date would change by the number of weeks you took off. If you’d like to take a break, please make sure you inform our office about this at least one week in advance. If you’d like to take more weeks off, you’re free to do so, but in this case we cannot add that time to your booking.
Whether you can return to your old class after the break depends on your performance. You might have to change the class or take another test.

Important: if you have booked accommodation through us, you’ll have to pay the rent for the duration of the break as well!
