Planning and structuring courses

LANGUAGE TRAINING ALONGSIDE WORK

e.g. one double lesson per week

Due to the travelling time and the travel costs – which are included if the course takes place in the Munich area – and the effectiveness of the teaching, lessons generally consist of two teaching units.

COMPACT WEEKLY COURSES

e.g. one week

Eight hours per day Monday to Friday, with a lunch break and a short coffee break after two hours in the morning and in the afternoon.

CRASH COURSES

e.g. all-day intensive

An all-day intensive course on a Saturday, or a course over two whole days, during the week or at the weekend.

CONTACT DETAILS

Alternative course structures can be discussed.

Appointments may be cancelled free of charge the day before.
Lessons cancelled on the same day will generally be charged.

TRANSLATIONS

For translations the areas of specialisation are also finance, law, tax, marketing and human resources.
‍
Translations include contracts, presentations, websites, marketing material and texts for public relations, appendices to annual financial statements and research reports.

The price is usually calculated per line of original text, although a flat rate can often be offered for larger jobs, which would correspond to a lower rate.

A surcharge of up to 20% may be charged for specialised texts and express services.
‍

PROOFREADING

Proofreading of documents is also possible. For this, an estimate of the time required is given after viewing the documents to be checked and an hourly rate or a flat rate for the entire job is charged.
