7 Where do I find my variable symbol for payment?

The variable symbol for payment for the group course is the same as your application number. You will find it in the automatic reply you received after submitting your application.

8 Can I enrol in the course after it has started?

If there is only an inquiry form available for a course, the capacity is probably full or the registration deadline is over. However, you can fill in the inquiry form, submit the placement test (you will receive a link to it in the automatic reply) and the Study Department will contact you if we find a vacancy for you in the course.


Group Organisation

9 Can I choose a teacher?

Unfortunately, this is not possible in our courses.

10 How many students are in a group?

We usually have groups of 12 students. The minimum number of paid applications to open a course is 10.

11 Is it necessary to take the placement test (written and spoken)?

Yes. Placement testing helps us to divide prospective students into groups according to their current language proficiency before the start of the course, which allows us to streamline the teaching in each group.

Note: The written placement test is used for internal purposes as a general diagnostic tool for placing candidates into groups according to their current knowledge. It is not an official test, which would confirm the language proficiency of the tested person.


Applying for the course

12 Are there still places available in the course I have chosen?

If the application for a course is open, there are still places available. If only the inquiry form is available for the course, the capacity is probably full or the application deadline is over. In this case, you can fill in the inquiry form, submit the placement test (you will receive a link to it in the automatic reply) and the Study Department will contact you if we find a vacancy for you in the course.

13 Can I enrol in the course after it has started?

If the course application form (including the inquiry form) is closed, it is no longer possible to enrol in the course.
