Intensive German courses at language schools

An intensive course means group lessons every weekday, usually 20 or more a week. It is the fastest way to raise your level: from scratch to B2 at 20 lessons a week takes about 6–8 months. Here are the intensive courses for adults from our catalogue, at the schools' own prices.

Questions: Intensive German courses at language schools

How is an intensive course different from a regular one?
An intensive course runs every weekday — 20 or more lessons a week. An evening or weekend course has a few lessons a week. Only an intensive course qualifies for a language-course visa: at least 18 teaching units a week, taught on weekdays.
When can I start?
Schools handle starts differently: some let you start almost any week, others only on fixed dates and from a certain level. Dates, the minimum length and the level are on the course page.
Free of charge

A language plan: from your level to the university application

A PDF for your application date: how many weeks you need to reach the required level, when to take TestDaF or DSH, where a course is cheaper for the same result and what a student visa requires. A consultant prepares it for you.

  • Weeks needed from your current level to the required one
  • Exam dates and application deadlines for your semester
  • Courses that fit your budget, with the full cost
