The accommodation is awesome with an equipped kitchen that has almost everything we need. And the room is very large and comfortable. Although it takes about 45~50 minutes to go to school, I will still select this place.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss: The teachers here are very nice to students. Don't be afraid of asking them as you want.

Other comments: I lived very far from the school, the way took me about an hour. The apartment included an absolute minimum, quite uncomfortable, there were insects there (perhaps because of the heat). In addition, I couldn't get the keys immediately, I had to wait for several hours. The teachers are sometimes replaced, which is not very good for the educational process. In general, everything is fine, but the number of organizational issues and the dormitory location were a little upsetting this time.

Too intense to relax. I have homework everyday and I also want to go out to visit Berlin so that my average sleeping hours are 5-6 hours.

Quality of teaching / language progress: The school is well located at the heart of Berlin. All teachers I had were excellent and really passionate about teaching. I did enjoy the evening activities and got to make really good friends at the school. The classrooms & facilities are a bit basic, but enough to learn german.
Other comments: Overall, it's a great school at a great location. The accommodation is not good.

Great location of the school.

Quality of teaching / language progress: I really liked the school overall, although the lessons could be a little cheaper. However, it is definitely worth it! My teacher Olga was absolutely lovely. Although I had other teachers occasionally, Olga was by far the best! I heard some other students that didn't quite like their teachers but I have 0 complaints. She was very dynamic and would do all types of different and fun exercises. I evolved a lot and had so much fun learning!
Other comments: Overall, I think its a good school but not the best. For the money, location and easy accommodation (since it's very difficult to find a place to live in Berlin and expensive at the moment), it was good!

Questions and answers about VICTORIA - Academy of Languages

  • With the intensive course, students can finish a level in 6 weeks.
    Stefanie Schmidt, Deputy Head of Language Institute from VICTORIA - Academy of Languages - Nov 14, 2022
  • With books, it really depends on the level. For this reason I would advise the student to buy them here, having already checked into their course and being satisfied with the level. Students can buy the books at any time at school, online or in bookstores.

    The books are:
    A1/A2 – Network NEW
    B1-C1 – Aspects NEW
    Egor, from VICTORIA - Aug 02, 2023
  • We do not have a maximum duration. The student can extend for as many weeks as he needs.
    Stefanie, from VICTORIA - Aug 30, 2023
  • Should the visa be delayed, the student will not incur any further costs from us. This means that should he receive his visa after the start date stated in the invitation letter, he can postpone the language course without further costs.
    Stefanie, from VICTORIA - Aug 30, 2023
  • Should the visa not be issued, the refund transfer of payment, less costs incurred, such as postage and bank charges, as well as an administration fee of EUR 200 is guaranteed by us. The rejection must be documented in the form of an official confirmation and the presentation of the original invitation letter.
    Stefanie, from VICTORIA - Aug 30, 2023
