Intensive German courses are designed for students seeking to accelerate the completion of their studies. In addition to being an excellent option during vacation months—January, February, and July—when students have the availability to attend daily classes, these courses also offer a promotional rate significantly lower than regular courses.
The OnSet proficiency exam is not administered in Germany but in authorized centers abroad, such as ZWEI. Its purpose is to assess language proficiency for applications to public universities affiliated with German universities, the DAAD, and German companies.
