German Language Course for Teachers in Bremen: Beginners (A1–A2)

This course is an eligible training activity under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (School Education Mobility) — the course fee, travel and subsistence fall within the eligible cost categories. Whether it is covered depends on your own project's approved grant agreement and your National Agency's rules; we provide all the invoices, attendance records and certificates your National Agency requires for reporting.

None. This course starts from zero, at the level the Council of Europe calls Pre-A1. The trainer teaches in German and explains in English when needed, so basic English helps. If you already speak some German, our German Language Course for Teachers in Bremen: Intermediate (B1–B2) may suit you better.

Absolutely — group bookings of 3+ from one school or organisation receive priority placement, and we can schedule a dedicated session for groups of 12 or more.

This course is currently offered only in Bremen. Tell us if you would like it at another centre and we will look into arranging it.

Tuition, all course materials, your Certificate of Attendance, and the co-signed Europass Mobility document. Flights, accommodation and travel insurance are booked separately — we send a vetted hotel list.

You can move to any later session free of charge. Cancellations made 30+ days before the start date receive a full refund; a reduced refund applies closer to the date — see our full Cancellation & Refund Policy for the exact schedule.

The Erasmus+ Programme Guide states that “The lack of language competences is one of the main barriers to participation in European education, training and youth programmes” (Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2026, Part A – Important features of the Erasmus+ Programme, Multilingualism, p. 12), and lists among the objectives of Key Action 1 mobility in school education “supporting professional development of teachers, school leaders and other school staff” and “building capacity of schools to engage in cross-border exchanges and cooperation, and carry out high quality mobility projects” (Part B – Key Action 1, Mobility for pupils and staff in school education, Objectives of the action, p. 103). This week gives teachers and education staff a first working German, learned in Germany: the language of a partner school, of a job-shadowing visit, and of the German-speaking families many schools already have. Participants use it every day in real situations in Bremen and finish the week with a self-assessment in the Council of Europe's wording. Frame it in your own project's terms — your National Agency's current call will confirm exactly how it applies.

Because the German you learn in the morning is the German you use in the afternoon — in a café, on a tram, in the street. Bremen is our centre in Germany, and the course is built around daily tasks in the city.

If you have no German or very little, choose this course. If you can already talk about everyday topics in simple German and want to follow discussions, read and write with more confidence, choose German Language Course for Teachers in Bremen: Intermediate (B1–B2).
