The 15-week online German Language Course at Norberts Academy will give you a strong foundation in the German language and culture. It is taught by experienced faculty who not only know the language but have extensive experience of the culture of German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland).
Classes are Mondays to Fridays, either in the mornings or the evenings. Classes are interactive and live, with a lot of collaboration and team work between classmates and feedback from teachers. After class, it is recommended that you spend at least 1 hour doing homework and practicing what you have learnt, ideally with some classmates. This is a part-time course and can easily be combined with work or other major commitments, as long as you can strive for attendance and active participation. We won’t be recording the classes but summary of class content will be shared with all students after each class, so if missing a class is unavoidable, you will know what work needs to be made up and your teacher will support you by clearing any doubts you might have.
The format of the classes is fully online. Classes are highly interactive and immersive- through the digital format we bring Germany to you, virtually. This allows for maximum learning within the given time frame, with understanding not only of the vocabulary and grammar, but also the culture. We focus on the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking, as well as on grammar and vocabulary. In short, our aim is thorough preparation for a possible future in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. The online format also allows students to improve their digital skills, preparing them for later exams such as the digital TestDaF or German Language Exams.
Norberts Academy offers courses from A1 to B2.2 as well as a TestDaF Exam Preparation Course.
For students who join the A1 course, an A2 course will be offered soon after completion of this course.

The TestDaF Exam Preparation course is the ideal exposure to the format of TestDaF, through an online format where you learn about and practice questions which look exactly like the TestDaF exam.

Students as also guided on brushing-up their grammar and improving their vocabulary. The course ends with a full mock exam will all exercises exactly like in the TestDaF Exam.
The TestDaF Exam preparation course is only open to students who have either completed or are very close to completing B2. It’s a part-time course with about 10 hours of work per week, and therefore possible to combine with a B2.2 or C1 German Language Course. Please note: the TestDaF Exam Preparation Course is at the B2 level, but it is not a substitute for studying B2.1 and B2.2 German.
OnSET is required as a placement test for the TestDaF Exam Preparation Course and a score in the B2 range is required. For students joining our courses, the Rs. 1,500 fees for onSET are adjusted in the course fees. In case the onSET score isn’t high enough to qualify for admission into the desired course or level, no reimbursement or adjustment is possible.
The course format is partially self-paced and partially online live. Every week students are expected to complete certain exercises based on a schedule given in advance, with a weekly live meeting where queries are discussed. Submission exercises are sent to the teacher, who responds with feedback to students individually during the week.
This course provides thorough exposure to TestDaF, giving candidates the best possible preparation for the Exam.
