How long do I need to complete one level, e.g. level A1?

Our course system is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and is divided into 12 course levels (A1 (A1.1 + A1.2), A2 (A2.1 + A2.2), B1 (B1.1 + B1.2), B2 (B2.1 + B2.2), C1 (C1.1 + C1.2) and C2 (C2.1 + C2.2). It means that you will learn for example level A1.1 in a 4-weeks intensive course, in a 8-weeks semi-intensive course or in a 12-weeks weekend course.

Example

You are an absolute beginner and want to complete level B1:

Intensive course: 6 months*
Semi-Intensive course: 12 months*
Weekend course: 24 months*
 
You can change the duration of your course with every new course level.
 
*This is an example based on the general duration of our courses. Whether you successfully complete a level in the schedules time also depends on whether you attend the course regularly, for example. (Terms and Conditions DeutschAkademie)
