Schedule and course structure
📅 The course is modular and consists of several units:
Language modules (A1–B1)
Values and orientation knowledge
Exam preparation
🕐 You can choose between different times of day: morning, afternoon or evening. Classes take place 4 times per week, 2 hours each. In addition, there are digital self-study phases.
🎯 Each section ends with a feedback and review module. This secures your progress, identifies weaknesses and improves them in a targeted way.
Everyday training – Use German in real life
The integration course goes beyond the classroom: in practice-oriented modules you learn how to communicate confidently in everyday life. Whether shopping, at the doctor’s, in kindergarten or at work – we practise real situations so you can respond confidently in German. Role plays, everyday scenarios and group conversations are a fixed part of the course.
These exercises strengthen your self-confidence and show you how you can use your German directly. You’ll notice: every day you feel more confident – and you dare to do more. The step towards linguistic independence becomes tangible.
Intercultural learning – Values, respect and living together
Language is only one part of integration. In the course you also learn how social life in Austria works. You find out what matters in everyday life, what rights and responsibilities you have, and how to treat people from different cultures with respect. The goal is a good, fair coexistence.
We work with case studies, discussions and projects that broaden your perspective. This helps you develop a feel for values such as equality, freedom of expression or tolerance. This knowledge helps you find your way in Austria and take part in society respectfully.
Personal support – Learn at your own pace
Our focus is on individual support. Every participant has different starting points and goals – that’s why we adapt the course flexibly to your needs. Our experienced trainers support you personally throughout the entire course.
You receive regular feedback, individual tips and additional materials suited to your learning pace. In conversations and small groups we work specifically on your weaknesses and build on your strengths. With this support you stay motivated and reach your goal without feeling overwhelmed.
Digital learning options – Flexibility & revision
