Educational Leave - Bildungsurlaub
Employees in NRW and other German states have a statutory entitlement to one week of paid educational leave a year.
Our Intensive
Courses with 6 lessons a day are officially recognized as
educational leave in North Rhine-Westphalia and other German states. Educational
leave in Dusseldorf is held and recognized in NRW due to a cooperation
with the LiW (Lohmarer Institut für Weiterbildung e.V.).
The Arbeitnehmerweiterbildungs-Gesetz NW (AwbG - i.e. legislation regarding further education) regulates the extent, subject matter and educational leave entitlement for North Rhine-Westphalia.
Information about educational leave application procedures and regulations is available at: www.bildungsurlaub.de
In the event that your employer rejects your educational leave application, we would be glad to provide you with further assistance.

The course is designed to enable
students to process the lesson content at their own pace in the evenings.
Approximately 2 extra hours a day should be taken into account, in order
to accelerate the learning proccess.
During the warm-up and review segments, homework is discussed and corrected and the previous days' work is revised. Issues that may have arisen during the student's self study are also addressed here.
Our method is based on the communicative
principle. Authentic materials, texts, audio cassettes and videos are
employed to meet each individual's needs.
Photocopied course material is provided.
Please take paper and pen with you!
Our teachers are qualified native speakers, with extensive experience in communicative teaching.
