How the levels work
From A1 to C1
A1 and A2 give you the basics: introducing yourself, everyday phrases, simple messages. B1 and B2 make you independent in conversation and reading. C1 is an advanced level, used for university studies or demanding work in German.
Each level runs over 8 weeks at 25 hours a week, in groups of eight learners at most.
