At Goethe-Language Centres, we want to make your journey into learning the German language as smooth as possible. Below we’ve tried to prepare some answers for questions you may have along the way:
First time learning with us at the Goethe-Language Centres? Don’t worry, we’re here to get you learning in a few clicks.
Each class will differ in size depending on registration, but our class size limits are 16 in online courses and 20 in offline courses (unless stated otherwise). The learning method at the Goethe-Language Centres revolves around group exercises, so you’ll be sure to get to know everyone in your class.
Don’t be daunted by the paperwork, we’re here to walk you through.
After we’ve received and processed your registration, we will send a confirmation email detailing how to secure your spot for the course/exam.
We will provide payment instructions via the confirmation email. You can find further information on your local centre’s payment policy on their site.
The course fee does not include the examination fee for the Goethe-Certificate. However, we provide internal pricing for those who have participated before or who have registered for a course at any of our Goethe-Learning Centres. Remember to have your proof of enrolment and other supporting documentation ready when applying for internal pricing.
Once you register for a course or exam, you will receive a confirmation email detailing the steps for finalizing your registration. Only after following these steps will you be secured your spot. While on the waiting list, you will still be able to register for another exam.
In cases like these, do not worry. Please get in touch with the staff at the exam/course location you actually wish to register at and provide them with the relevant booking information and details on how you would like to change your registration.
As with the above situation, please get in touch with staff at the exam/course location to inform them about your situation.
For whatever else is on your mind. We just might have the answers for you here.
Our staff is made up of both Chinese and German teachers, all of whom have been certified and trained by Goethe-Institut before stepping foot in the classroom. Every teacher also takes part in the Goethe-Institut’s regular advanced training courses, helping them continually improve and keep up with the latest research and teaching practises. In addition, the Goethe-Institut regularly audits our teaching and course structures to ensure world-class teaching standards.
The location of the courses and tests will be announced via confirmation email after we process your registration.
The Goethe-Certificate is recognized on an international level. German employers, German universities, and the German government accept the Goethe-Certificate as proof of language fluency.
According to the German government, the A1 Goethe-Certificate qualifies you to work as an au pair in Germany as well as being a prerequisite for an immigration visa if you’re married to a German.
With the B1 and B2 Goethe-Certificate, you are eligible for admission into most German universities and jobs.
The C1 Goethe-Certificate provides eligibility for enrolment in the strictest German University courses as well as for work in medical fields. Teachers at German schools and those serving as a translator and interpreters are required by employers to have obtained the C2 Goethe-Certificate.
