You are welcome to contact us by phone (+31 20 5312911) or by email. Email us or drop by our language department for a personal consultation.
The next on-site courses at the Goethe-Institut Amsterdam and our online courses will start from 23 September 2024.
You can find our range of courses in our course programme.

Enrolment:
Enrolment for our courses you can do by booking in our webshop. 

If you have already participated in one of our language courses, you can enrol for the follow-up course by booking the course via our webshop.

If you have not yet taken part in one of our language courses, we will first determine your language level. 
To do this, you first book the placement test on our website. You then take the written part of the placement test directly on the website. After the written test, we will contact you by telephone to take the oral part of the placement test with you. Once your language level has been determined, you can book the course via the website.

4. Resignation

4.1. If the course participant cannot take part in the course, the following cancellation conditions apply: If the enrolment is canceled in writing before the 2nd course evening, the course fee will be reimbursed after deduction of € 30.00 processing costs.

In this case, we offer the participants the option to switch to another course or to receive the entire course fee back. Unfortunately, only those courses can take place that have the minimum number of participants at the end of the enrollment period. In order to avoid last minute cancellations we ask participants to register within the specified period.
