How does the Exam preparation in a group differ from a classic intensive or evening course?

In our intensive and evening courses, which run over the course of several weeks and build upon one another, you can systematically work towards achieving a certain language level. The course content of the individual sub-levels is designed such that, by combining the applicable courses, the learning goals of a complete level are covered. The difference is that our one-week Exam preparation in a group course focuses on targeted preparation for your German exam. Book an Exam preparation in a group course here
