What we like about the school

  • Central location near the Jungfernstieg promenade.
  • Excellent nationality mix. No student nationality makes up more than 15% of students.
What we dislike about the school
  • Cancellation fees for students having to cancel due to visa rejection.
  • Class time is shorter than in other schools at 45 minutes per lesson.

“The building. That's it.”
Insider tip: “Don't stay at the A&O Hauptbanhof and expect to be in the heart of the city. The free breakfast is nice though.”

Other comments: There is no A1 lesson plan. I had no assessment test. I did not feel safe in the neighborhood where my hotel was located.

“Good quality teaching.”
Insider tip: “Bring a passport photo for the DID student card (which will get you discounts at some tourist attractions but not on the public transport system) and 10 euros for the refundable deposit for the card that will let you get past the electronic locks at the school's entrance. Also worth bringing a passport photo to get a public transport card made at the main train station (this card will enable you to save money on public transport by buying a weekly or monthly ticket).”

Other comments: Shame that I got no teaching on the first day as I sat around a long time waiting for language level assessment. The cultural activities were cancelled as they will only run an activity if 5 or more people have signed up.

“The neighborhood,
the school is secure, is accessed only with passes
the kindness”
Details of the review
Other comments: First day organisation is poor. On the confirmation document was only indicated one hour of presentation. The level test is about 20 minutes and you have to wait after the break to enter the course. Thus I've lost 2 x 45 min on Monday morning. I've paid 20 lessons and only followed 18.
