This variety allows for flexibility in addressing individual life situations and learning goals while providing targeted support. For participants with caregiving responsibilities, Deutsch&Mehr offers courses with integrated childcare<\/strong> \u2013 an important contribution to balancing family and education.<\/p>\n

Deutsch&Mehr as an \u00d6SD examination centre<\/h2>\n

A key focus lies in its role as an examination centre \u2013 now as an official \u00d6SD partner<\/strong>. Participants can obtain internationally recognized language certificates directly on-site \u2013 a decisive advantage for education, career, and social participation.<\/p>\n

Businesses also benefit from these services: Deutsch&Mehr designs customized German courses<\/strong> for companies that want to support their employees linguistically \u2013 flexible, practical, and tailored to professional contexts.<\/p>\n

Convenient location, modern facilities<\/h2>\n

Its central location in the modern Styria Center<\/strong> in Graz is another plus. The classrooms at Volksgartenstra\u00dfe 1 are easily accessible by public transport and car \u2013 a further advantage for all course participants.<\/p>\n

This makes it easier to integrate courses into everyday life, whether you come from the city or the surrounding area. The building offers spacious, bright classrooms<\/strong> with state-of-the-art infrastructure \u2013 including smartboards, flexible seating, Wi-Fi, as well as quiet study zones and meeting areas for exchange and consultation.<\/p>\n

German courses for all language levels<\/h2>\n

The course program is as diverse as the people who attend.

Options include intensive courses, evening classes, weekend formats, and private lessons \u2013 available year-round with flexible start dates<\/strong>. For working individuals or parents with caregiving responsibilities, specially scheduled courses are offered. In some cases, discounts for socially disadvantaged groups<\/strong> or publicly funded places are available.<\/p>\n

German lessons with personal interaction<\/h2>\n

Deutsch&Mehr places great emphasis on innovative and interactive teaching methods<\/strong>. The use of modern materials, digital media, and practical exercises ensures varied, real-life-oriented language instruction. Small group sizes allow for individualized support while maintaining social interaction.<\/p>\n

Participants come from all over the world<\/strong> \u2013 young adults, parents, professionals, recognized refugees, students, and people with a migration background who want to improve their opportunities in the Austrian job market. The educational concept at Deutsch&Mehr is tailored to this diversity: individual, practice-oriented, and with a clear goal<\/strong> \u2013 integration through language and education.<\/p>\n

Diverse and committed teaching team<\/h2>\n

The teaching and learning environment at Deutsch&Mehr is characterized by openness, respect, and intercultural diversity. It\u2019s not only about teaching language, but also about genuine exchange, encounters, and support<\/strong> on the path to a self-determined life in Austria.<\/p>\n

Behind the successful course operations is a highly qualified, multilingual teaching team<\/strong> that stands out not only for professional competence but also for empathy and intercultural sensitivity.

Again and again, participants report that Deutsch&Mehr is the first time they\u2019ve truly felt seen and respected within the education system.

Why become an \u00d6SD examination centre?<\/h2>\n

Becoming a licensed \u00d6SD examination centre<\/strong> was a logical step for Deutsch&Mehr in line with its vision to combine high-quality language education with real opportunities for participants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability to offer official German exams in-house<\/strong> creates the perfect combination of teaching, exam preparation, and certification \u2013 all under one roof and in a familiar environment. Our motivation was to provide language education not only theoretically, but to offer measurable and recognized qualifications<\/strong> that carry weight in the education system, the job market, and with authorities,\u201d explains Managing Director and \u00d6SD exam official Birgit Lorber.<\/p>\n

The \u00d6SD certificate is internationally recognized<\/strong> and represents a high-quality standard, she adds: \u201cExactly what we aim to live in our teaching every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

New goals with the \u00d6SD<\/h2>\n

As an \u00d6SD examination centre, Deutsch&Mehr sees opportunities to expand its course offerings<\/strong> and reach new target groups \u2013 such as individuals who specifically need an \u00d6SD exam for studies, work, or residence permit extensions.<\/p>\n

Demand for standardized exams is growing, and with its certification the institute can respond flexibly to this need. Looking ahead, there are plans for more vocational qualification programs<\/strong> and integration projects.<\/p>\n
