✓ Central location — Karl-Heinrich-Ulrichs-Straße 6, 10787 Berlin — a short walk from U-Bahn Wittenbergplatz (U1/U2/U3).
✓ Small groups — Maximum 12 participants per group, so there's time for hands-on practice.

✓ We support you in English — Our team advises you in English (also German, Russian, Turkish, Arabic) before you book, helps with enrolment, and is reachable during the course.
✓ Basic German is usually enough — The course is practical and hands-on, so everyday German is normally sufficient. Not sure about your level? Contact us and we'll assess it together before you commit.
