CEFR-aligned B1 training | From structured learning to confident real-world use
Who This German B1 Course Is Meant For
German B1 is the stage where learners move toward independent language use.
This level is intended for learners who:
-
Have completed German A2 through structured training
-
Can understand routine conversations and written texts
-
Are ready to express opinions, reasons, and experiences
-
Want to move towards independent language use
If you have not completed A2 or are unsure of your readiness, a level discussion is recommended before enrolling.
What Changes from A2 to B1
German B1 marks a significant shift in language ability.
At the B1 level, learners:

-
Learn to connect ideas and explain viewpoints
-
Handle longer conversations and texts with confidence
-
Improve accuracy in grammar and sentence structure
-
Develop clarity in speaking and writing
This level focuses on control, coherence, and real communication, not memorisation.

Your next step is guided by your purpose, not just course completion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is German B1 mandatory for Ausbildung programs?
In most cases, yes. Many Ausbildung programs expect candidates to have at least B1-level German to handle workplace communication, training instructions, and daily interactions effectively.
​​
Can I work part-time in Germany with B1 German?
Yes. B1 is commonly considered the recommended level for part-time jobs, internships, and basic workplace communication in Germany.
​​
Is B1 enough for long-term jobs in Germany?
B1 is sufficient for entry-level roles and integration, but many professional roles and long-term career growth typically require B2 or higher.
​​
Can I directly join B1 without learning A1 and A2?
No. German learning is progressive. B1 assumes strong fundamentals built at A1 and A2. Learners who skip earlier levels often struggle with grammar, sentence structure, and comprehension.
​​
I learned German through apps or self-study. Can I join B1?
Possibly, but only after confirming readiness. Many self-learners overestimate their level. A diagnostic discussion or mock test helps determine whether B1 is appropriate.
​​
Is B1 mainly about exams or communication?
B1 focuses on functional communication, not just exams. Learners develop the ability to handle everyday work situations, express opinions, and understand longer conversations.
​​
Do you prepare students for Goethe or TELC B1 exams?
Yes. The course follows CEFR-aligned structure and prepares learners for Goethe or TELC exam formats, while prioritizing real-world language use.
​​
What happens if I struggle during B1?
If a learner needs more time, we allow revision and reinforcement before moving ahead. Progression is based on readiness, not speed.
​​
Is B1 suitable for nurses or skilled professionals?
B1 is usually an intermediate step. Most healthcare and skilled professional roles require B2, but B1 is essential groundwork before advancing further.
​​
Do I need to decide my final level (B1 or B2) before starting?
No. You start with B1 as the next step after A2. Your final required level depends on your career goal and progress, not an early decision.
​
How long does the German B1 course take?
German B1 typically requires 70–80 hours to complete. The overall duration usually spans 2.5 to 3 months, depending on consistency, performance, and revision needs.
