Terms and Conditions DeutschAkademie

1. Requirement for participation in the German Course

You must be literate.

 

2. Registration for the German Course

The registration form must be filled out completely. If you already have previous knowledge, we will conduct a professional written and oral assessment to find your optimal course. The course fee must be paid in full. Your registration for a German language course is only completed when you have made the required payments and have received a registration confirmation from us. Participants requiring a visa should register at least 2 months prior to the beginning of the course.

Last minute booking: If we can confirm your booking only 24 hours before the course starts, you will, unfortunately, miss the first date and can only participate from the 2nd date.

First day of the course: You will receive a zoom link via email from your teacher at least 2 minutes before the start of the course. Simply click on the link and join the meeting. Please also check your spam/junk folder!

 

3. Reserving a place for your German Course

As soon as we have determined your course level using our placement test, we can reserve a place in a course for you. The registration for the German course is only complete when the payment has been received in time for the reservation deadline. Otherwise, the registration will be cancelled.

 

4. Changing the German Course you have booked

You can change the booking of your German language course up to 14 days before the beginning of the course. After that time, a change is no longer possible, unless you have additionally booked a cancellation insurance:

• Insurance in case of non-attendance of the course: This insurance is 3% of the total amount and can only be claimed before the course starts. If you or a member of your family falls ill and you are therefore unable to attend the course, we will refund the course costs, but only against a medical certificate. Confirmations must be in German or English.
• Insurance in case of course cancellation: This insurance is 10% of the total amount. You can claim this insurance if you have to cancel your course due to a professional obligation, a death in the family or in case of illness. In this case, we can reimburse you for the proportionate course costs upon presentation of a confirmation from your employer or a medical certificate. Confirmations must be in German or English.

The first rebooking is free of charge, every further rebooking costs 30€ per course month.

 

5. Canceling your German Course

You can cancel your German language course up to 14 days before the beginning of the course without giving any reasons. After this date, cancellation is no longer possible unless you have also taken out one of the above mentioned cancellation insurances.

 

6. Continuing Course

The booking of follow-up courses after already having participated in a German course of the DeutschAkademie is done as described in section 2. An automatic reservation of a course place is not made. We hereby inform you that you will receive a reservation e-mail during your course.

 

7. Cutting a Course short

If fewer than 7 participants have enrolled for a course, the DeutschAkademie reserves the right to shorten or cancel the course.
