Students can take the Standard course and do an internship at the end of the course to get to practice all that they've learnt and get valuable work experience.
This course is for students of maximum 26 years old. Students need to take a course of at least 6 weeks and need to achieve a minimum level of B1.
Internships are unpaid and can last from 3 to 6 months.
Course Description

• Improve your German language skills during this 6+ week course.
  
• Teachers will help you prepare your application materials and job interview.
  
• Depending on the area of expertise, proof of language level B1, B2, C1 or higher is required.
  
• Collect your first professional experience and establish contacts with a German enterprise.
  
• You will get the chance to experience everyday professional life in Germany.
  
  Program Length
  The shortest German course is 6 weeks and depends largely on your language level. The internship typically lasts up to 3 months. Longer internships are only arranged if they are considered compulsory.
  
  Area of Work
  You can indicate which area of work you would prefer. Certainly, your placement will depend heavily on your qualifications. Placement in a qualified internship in fields such as architecture, accounting, design or tourism require very good German skills (completion of level B2). If you would like to work in the hotel or restaurant industry, completion of level B1 is generally sufficient.
  
  The school will try to find a placement for you that matches both your experience and your interests. This is not always possible in every course location, however. In addition, DID cannot guarantee you will find a position with a specific firm or in a very specific business sector. In these cases, they will suggest an alternative, perhaps an internship in a similar line of work.
  
  Internship Payment
  All internships offered are unpaid. Nonetheless, some firms may pay a small amount of pocket money. DID cannot mediate paid internships for you. Minimum wage laws apply to internships that are not considered compulsory. In the case of volunteer internships, minimum wage laws only apply if the internship is longer than 3 months.
  
  Additional Information
  
• Job interview
  In Germany, it is standard to take part in an in-person job interview. The employer will contact you to arrange an appointment. You will leave a more positive impression if you respond to their request promptly, arrive at the interview on time, and are neatly dressed in the appropriate attire.
  
  
• Work hours and vacation
  In Germany, the normal work week is 40 hours. Your employer will explain the work hours to you either before your internship or when you first start. If you would like to take vacation during your internship, discuss this with your employer.
  
  
• Termination
  Should the internship be terminated early, DID cannot refund any fees you have paid to them. Please let them know why you would like to end the internship early.
  
  
• Internship certification
  After you have successfully completed your internship, your employer will provide you with a written certification of your work. The certification will describe the duties you performed while employed.
