Transparent teaching according to CEFR standards

All language courses at our language academy

Our language courses are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) of the Council of Europe , which was introduced worldwide in 2001. The uniform standard enables learners in Europe and around the world a transparent and comparable language acquisition. The language skills of the course participants are assigned to a language level of the CEFR: In this way, you will be qualified for a course corresponding to your language level.

There are three levels of competence: from A1 for beginners to C2 for the highest language level. You can find precise descriptions of competencies on the global scale of the GeR. Please note that each higher level includes the competencies of all lower levels.
