German Courses at TANDEM Cologne run year round and are available at all levels. Courses consist of 20 45-minute lessons per week (20 + 2 during the summer) and take place from 10.00 am to 1.30 pm or from 2.15 pm to 5.45 pm. Participants with prior knowledge of German are welcome to join our classes at any time; starting dates (except for beginners) are every Monday.
Small groups of max. 12 students (average 8) per class guarantee that you will quickly and successfully progress, and soon improve your language skills in a relaxed and communicative environment.
Our German courses are appropriate as exam preparation for the Zertifikat Deutsch, telc B2, telc C1, DSH or TestDaF examinations (admission requirements for German universities). TANDEM Cologne is also an examination centre for the European Language Certificates. These examinations are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages published by the Council of Europe.
