TANDEM Hamburg is an accredited examination centre for TestDaF and for the European Language Certificates (TELC). TestDaF is a language test for foreign students applying for entry to an institution of higher education in Germany. If you pass, you meet an important prerequisite for studying at German universities. For German we offer TELC examinations from A1 up to B1 (Zertifikat Deutsch).
The acquisition of the TestDaF certificate is an officially recognised qualification of linguistic competence for entry into German universities and colleges of higher education. Our preparation classes include a free mock exam.
Our preparation classes - as a crash course (CK) or an evening course (AK) - prepare you best for the examination. Including a mock exam.
Crash Course (CK):
From 5 stud., 2 weeks, Mon-Fri 2.00 - 5.15 p.m.
Evening Course (AK):
From 5 stud., 6 weeks, Mon, Tue, Fri 6.00 - 8.30 p.m.
Our students come from all over the world, there are many Spanish, Japanese and Chinese students, followed by British, Americans and Eastern Europeans, and we are welcoming increasing numbers of South Americans and African people. The 'mixture' changes from one month to the next, but that's what you' always find: a lively mix.
We have an average number of 6 students per class; the minimum age is 17, the majority of our students are in their twenties and early thirties.
There's so much more to language learning than just learning German in a classroom situation. We are giving you the full package. Experience Hamburg and the Hamburgians during our cultural program in the afternoons and evenings. We are taking you to museums, art exhibitions, on guided walks, pubcrawls and outings to the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and other places of interest, as for example the old Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Our Culture Programme with its wide range of activities takes place every week; as many activities are led in German, they give you further opportunity to practice and improve your knowledge of the language.
All activities are structured and guided by a TANDEM Hamburg «specialist» – come along and meet her!
Here's a quick glance to give you some idea of what we offer:
* Walk from the historical Fish Market in St. Pauli along the river Elbe to Jenischpark, picnic, football, etc.
* Guided sight seeing tour by bus, stopovers at interesting sites, followed by a walk through the old tunnel under the river Elbe (built in 1911) to the free port and back.
* «Town Quiz Hamburg-Altona»
The students are solving tasks in town in small groups, and are getting to know this part of Hamburg with a guided walk and talk on the history of the two «sisters» Hamburg and Altona.
* The pub scene in St. Pauli and Altona – pub quiz, disco and live music. See the Große Freiheit, where the Fab Four started their career.
* Visit to one of Hamburg´s top league football clubs «FC St. Pauli» or «Hamburger Sportverein» (HSV).
