You can also receive financial support for our intensive group courses in the Live Online Classroom through the education voucher (Bildungsgutschein) provided by the Employment Agency. For example, within the framework of the Federal Office For Migration and Refugees (BAMF) German for Professional Purposes program (Deutschsprachförderung), you can take part in German language courses for the workplace from levels A2 to C1, both as in-person courses and in the virtual classroom. We offer B2 and C1 language courses (Basissprachkurse) as well as special courses (Spezialkurse) for levels A2 and B1. In addition to these courses, we also offer general integration courses, and at our Gevelsberg location, we provide literacy courses and youth courses.

FAQs

In addition to state-funded German courses, do you offer other subsidized instruction?

In addition to our subsidized German courses, we offer individual instruction in German, English, and French – either on-site or Live Online in our Online Classroom – which is eligible for the AVGS training voucher (Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein). Group courses that are eligible for the continuing education voucher (Bildungsgutschein) are currently offered in the Berlitz Online Classroom.

In which language is the course taught?

The lessons are conducted entirely in your target language from the very first session. This helps all participants gain confidence in speaking and quickly overcome language barriers. It creates motivation right from the first class.

Do you learn faster in group or individual lessons?

In individual lessons, you can achieve faster learning success because you get more speaking time, can shape the lessons according to your own needs, and bring in your own topics. You also have the opportunity to learn any living language in individual lessons.

What courses do you offer for companies?

In addition to language courses and intercultural training, Berlitz also offers business seminars. Berlitz is a training partner for over 4,000 corporate clients. Our Corporate Sales representative at Berlitz Wuppertal will be happy to inform you about specific training solutions for companies.

How often do lessons take place?

Frequency depends on the course format. We offer courses with just one fixed session per week, up to intensive courses with daily lessons of up to eight instructional units per day. If you choose individual training, you can flexibly schedule the frequency and duration of your lessons based on your availability and desired progress. You can also adjust your schedule at any time.

How do kids learn foreign languages in your courses?

The course content is adapted to the age of the participants. This means that our youngest participants learn the new language through age-appropriate activities like singing, drawing, and playing games. For older kids, we use role-playing and active exercises to improve their language skills. It is our goal to boost young people’s self-confidence and provide a useful supplement to the foreign language instruction they receive in school.
