 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I really can’t recommend the ILS Zürich highly enough. Everything went smoothly, from the planning right up to exam day. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire exam. I couldn’t have asked for better organization and support. Many thanks to the whole team! 😊

We had enough time to prepare between the written and oral exams.
Everything was very well organized.

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I chose ILS Zürich for my German Telc B1 exam, and they didn't disappoint. Everything was explained clearly before the test, and everything went smoothly during the exam; the woman who proctored the written portion was very friendly and professional. The results were delivered 13 days after the test. I'll be back in a few months for the B2!
Thanks a lot

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. In my opinion, this is the most comprehensive and high-quality language school in Switzerland. Here, we’re not just learning a language—we’re also having a great time. The classrooms are air-conditioned and not crowded; in my previous language course, there were 12 students, but in the class I’m taking here, there are only three of us, and I find that to be a huge advantage. Our teacher, in particular, is very friendly and goes above and beyond to teach us—making the lessons more fun and helping us remember what we learn. If you want to learn a language, I think you should come and try out a trial day. Thank you (Ricardo) :)

 Trustindex checks whether the original source of the rating is Google. I am very pleased with my experience at this school. The classes are well-organized, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the learning process is rigorous yet motivating. I would especially like to mention our teacher, Ricardo, who is an excellent instructor. He is very patient, explains things very clearly, and manages to make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. The lessons are interesting, well-structured, and take place in a relaxed atmosphere where you feel encouraged to speak, ask questions, and learn without fear of making mistakes. Ricardo pays close attention to every student, and it’s clear that he puts his heart into what he does. Thanks to him, the course is much more enjoyable, and I feel like I’ve made real progress. I wholeheartedly recommend this school and, in particular, Ricardo’s classes.

Check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are there any intensive German courses in Zurich that meet in the afternoon?

Yes. At ILS Zürich , you can take an intensive German course in the afternoon. Classes are held Monday through Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. This makes the course particularly suitable for people who work, study, take care of children, or have other commitments in the morning but still want to learn German on a regular basis.

Who would benefit most from an afternoon German class?

An afternoon German course is ideal if your mornings are already scheduled but you don’t want to wait until the evening to take classes. The course is a good fit, for example, for part-time workers, students, parents, or people with flexible work schedules. With classes four days a week, you can maintain an intensive learning pace without having to set aside the entire day for the language course.

Is the afternoon intensive course also suitable for beginners in German?

Yes. The intensive afternoon course is offered at ILS Zürich from A1 to C1. This means you can start even if you have little or no knowledge of German. If you already speak German, you can enter directly into a higher level or sub-level, depending on your placement test results.

How quickly can I reach a certain level of German with an intensive afternoon course?

For levels A1, A2, and B1, each full level lasts 12 weeks and consists of 96 lessons. Levels B2 and C1 each last 16 weeks and consist of 128 lessons. Individual sub-levels may also be taken. Levels A1.1 through B1.2 each last 6 weeks, and levels B2.1 through C1.2 each last 8 weeks.

Can I take just half a German language level, such as A1.1 or B1.2?

Yes. You don't always have to enroll in an entire level. The afternoon intensive course can also be taken as a single sub-level. This is convenient if you've already completed part of a level or simply want to focus on learning until you reach the next language level.

What is the advantage of an intensive afternoon course over an evening course?

In the afternoon intensive course, you’ll study four times a week, which keeps you in regular contact with the German language. A traditional evening course, on the other hand, meets less frequently and is geared more toward people who only have time after work. The afternoon intensive course is therefore a good choice if you’re available during the day and want to make faster progress without having to attend a morning course that lasts several hours.

How large are the groups in the afternoon German class?

At ILS Zürich , a maximum of 8 people study together in the afternoon intensive course. Small groups allow for more active speaking time and give the teacher the opportunity to address questions and individual challenges more specifically. Especially when learning a language intensively, this can help students use German more often on their own instead of just listening.
