Courses and company training (Internship).

It is possible to learn German and then to have a training in a company ( Internship).
The stay consists in 2 parts.

 - On one hand a language course to reach a sufficient level (intermediate) of 4 or 8 weeks duration.
       4 weeks allow you to a non qualified job in hotel or restaurant.
      8 weeks allow you to get a more interesting job in a company.
The cities for the course are Berlin, Frankfort or Munich. Cities for Internship are more numerous. Tell us the German city you would like to go, same as courses, or another one.
For the language part you have all details above in this program (see table for prices) and the different accommodation possibilities

 - For the internship part, a unique 345 Euros for a non qualified work or 478 Euros for a qualified work will be asked.
Accommodation during working period will be in a family or, as many, a room rented in the city. The period of Internship lasts between 2 and 6 months. During this period the trainee is not paid, but often the company looks a small financial compensation if it's satisfied.
The minimum delay to make application for an Internship program is 3 months before the date of the training and not the course which precedes. A CV in German will be required as well as 3 photos. For certain qualified "jobs", an interview with the company will be required and will take place during the period of language learning.
 

City information

Town of Hesse on the Main, 155 km from Cologne. Frankfurt is a commercial center since the construction of its first bridge by the Romans two thousand years ago. In 1152 the German princes, brought together by the cathedral, chose Frederic Barberousse as Roman Saint emperor and from 1562, the emperors were named and crowned in the city. Frankfurt is today the commercial and financial capital of Germany.

The medieval city was destroyed by the bombardments of 1944 and was replaced by buildings. The Gothic cathedral, of the residences of the XV century and the native house of Goethe were restored. Gardens follow the layout of the old ramparts. The zoo of Frankfurt is one of the most beautiful in the world (vast birdcage, where the birds fly beside the public.)
