The C1 level is already about the complexity of language use. The vocabulary will be massively expanded again and we will work on the ability to deal with complex communicative context in any situation of your life. If you still have gaps or uncertainties from previous levels, we will of course help you to close them in an effective and fun way.

Course Description
VOX’s Telc Deutsch C1 preparation courses are perfect for students who have successfully completed the B2 level and are looking for an extra challenge or need an official certificate for work or to gain entrance to a German-speaking university. In small groups, your teacher will help you to expand your vocabulary, particularly or formal German, hone your writing skills and communicate with confidence and nuance about complex and varied topics.
In addition to improving your German level, your teacher will fully prepare you for the exam by using exam-specific materials. This exam preparation course will cover all parts of the exam: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, language elements (vocabulary and grammar), writing and, naturally, VOX’s specialty, speaking. A large part of passing a language exam is the correct preparation and the confidence you will gain when you feel fully ready by the end of our preparation courses.

Super friendly and fantastic conversation
Vox Language School has an amazing philosophy when it comes to teaching and language learning. The students are in the centre of attention and their needs and wants are focused on with empathy and interest. The whole team is warm and welcoming and as a teacher I especially appreciate the recognition from my students and boss. I can definitely recommend this school to anyone - students and teachers!
(Translated by Google) Freundlich, zielgerichtet, zuverlässig, creativity und mit Freude am Werk. Habe wohl Privatunterricht bei der optimalen Lehrerin (I) gebucht. Friendly, purposeful, reliable, serious but not too much, a creative force and with a lot of pleasure at work. I probably booked private lessons with an optimal teacher. (Original) Freundlich, zielgerichtet, zuverlässig, kreativ und mit Freude am Werk. Habe wohl Privatunterricht bei der optimalen Lehrerin (I) gebucht. Amichevole, finalizzata, affidabile, seria ma non troppo, una forza creativa e con molto piacere sul lavoro. Probabilmente ho prenotato lezioni private con una insegnante ottimale.
A great choice for anyone working full-time who wants to learn German at a flexible pace, with a strong focus on verbal communication. I highly recommend VOX Sprachschule.
Good school! The small groups are fantastic because the teacher can focus on each student. Michael is an excellent teacher—very patient and always prepared with fun activities. Highly recommended!
Great language school with amazing teachers! I can especially recommended Sabrina and Felicity, both very professional and friendly, explain everything in a great detail, encourage to talk and help you to pronounce words correctly. The admin staff also very accommodating and helpful.
(Translated by Google) I've been attending the C1 German course at VOX Language School for a month now and I'm very satisfied. My goal was to improve my spoken communication, and I'm already seeing significant progress in my fluency. Our teacher addresses our individual goals, and we're learning many useful expressions that are perfectly suited to our level. It's especially helpful that we get to practice speaking a lot in class. Highly recommended! (Original) Ich besuche seit einem Monat den C1-Deutschkurs bei VOX Sprachschule und bin sehr zufrieden. Mein Ziel war es, meine mündliche Kommunikation zu verbessern, und ich sehe bereits deutliche Fortschritte in meiner Sprachflüssigkeit. Unser Lehrer geht auf unsere persönlichen Ziele ein, und wir lernen viele nützliche Ausdrücke, die wirklich zum Niveau passen. Besonders hilfreich ist, dass wir im Unterricht viel sprechen können. Sehr empfehlenswert!
The course is going very well, Olga is a great teacher. I'm generally quite happy with the online option, although I prefer face to face. Olga adapts to my needs, corrects my errors spotting. She does her job well and I am making progress.
