German Intensive Course REGULAR (A1-C1)

You want a course with motivated participants, dedicated teachers, efficient curricula, and competent advisors? Then the Intensive Course REGULAR is your course. Your advantage: this is not an integration course!

This means: All participants are highly motivated, the groups are not oversized, the course is significantly faster, and we have maximum flexibility in selecting and implementing curricula, teaching materials, and teaching methods—and above all, no over-bureaucratized administration: You can register at any time, you can start at any time.
The course was designed as an alternative to the traditional integration course and guarantees efficiency and, above all, success in acquiring the German language through strict quality controls. If you already have prior knowledge, you can take a quick placement test and immediately join the appropriate course.

Course Times

Our German courses REGULAR intensive take place daily Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM*.

*The time may vary in exceptional cases.

Course Duration

Tip: You can join an ongoing course at any time!

Recommendation: Book our *B1super course (week 9 of the B1 course) to cover the most important topics and any remaining questions in a special revision module and optimally prepare for the telc Deutsch B1 exam and the transition to the B2 course.
If you wish to take the telc Deutsch B2 exam, we recommend the **telc B2 Exam Training: In two weeks (following a B2 course or bookable separately), you will discuss all important strategies and procedures for the B2 exam. The course is conducted by telc examiners and thus guarantees the best understanding and optimal chances for your exam.

Quality Control

The biggest problem with traditional language courses is that the groups usually consist of participants with varying levels of motivation. This happens mainly for two reasons: on the one hand, many language schools unfortunately tend to overfill the groups; on the other hand, participants are not always properly placed. Some participants in government-funded programs (integration courses, DeuFöV) are unfortunately sometimes not motivated enough to learn German. This can significantly disrupt the learning atmosphere and ultimately seriously impair the success of the course.

Over the years, we have focused on developing methods to address this problem. We have thus introduced the Quality Control system. What is it?
It is a series of measures that guarantee that the level in the course remains consistently high. At the beginning, special attention is given to placement. In addition, internal interim tests are conducted at the end of each CEFR level. To attend the next course, you must pass the test with at least 50%. The interim test can be taken a total of 2 times.

Another important element is goal orientation. Our interest and ultimately our greatest joy is that every course participant makes the best use of their potential in acquiring the German language and is satisfied with the results, regardless of whether the goal is to pass an exam or to communicate effectively in their profession and everyday life.

In addition, the school management requires detailed documentation of the course progress from the teachers and regularly reviews the completed curriculum, the results, attendance, and the regularity of homework.
Since all ISD staff strive to provide effective and competent service, all course participants have an additional guarantee that they are investing their time and money wisely.
