Book your free consultation
15 minutes, no commitment. We’ll figure out your course, your funding, and the BAMF paperwork.
Your questions. Answered.
Here's what most people want to know before signing up.
No. The consultation is free. You don’t pay to book it, and you don’t pay if you decide not to sign up afterwards.
We do it this way for a reason: most students don’t know which course or funding fits them. A free conversation removes that obstacle — whether you sign up with us or somewhere else.
Three things:
- Which course type is right for you: General, Literacy, Limited Literacy, or Online
- What funding you qualify for: we check your documents and situation to find out if it’s Kostenbefreiung (€0), Kostenbeitrag (€229/module), or paying privately (Selbstzahler*in)
- When the next course starts in your preferred time slot: morning, afternoon, or evening
You tell us about your situation. We check your documents and give you the answers. Most consultations take 15–20 minutes, depending on how many questions you have.
Our team speaks 21 languages. Including German, English, Arabic, Ukrainian, Farsi, Kurdish, Turkish, Russian, French, Chinese, Korean – and 10+ other languages.
Tell us your preferred language when we connect. We’ll do our best to match you with someone who speaks it. We can’t always guarantee that. It depends on your booking location and time slot.
The consultation works either way. Since 2004, 35,000+ students have signed up after a consultation. Many of our students didn’t share a first language with our team. They got the information they needed anyway.
Nothing is required. Bring whatever you have. The more we see, the faster we can confirm your course and funding.
If you have them, bring or have ready:
- Passport or ID
- Residence permit (Aufenthaltstitel) — current, expired, or Fiktionsbescheinigung
- Verpflichtung from Ausländerbehörde, Jobcenter, or BAMF — if someone is requiring you to take a course
- Berechtigungsschein from BAMF — if you already have one. If not, we help you apply
- Bescheid from Jobcenter or Sozialamt, or a recent pay stub (Gehaltsnachweis) — for the funding check
- Spätaussiedler-Bescheinigung — if applicable
- Previous German course certificates — to skip modules you’ve already covered
Missing some? That’s fine. We’ll work with what you have and help you get the rest.
No. There’s no obligation to sign up with us. Take all the information and decide later.
If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so. Sometimes that means recommending another school. We want you to learn German as well as you can. Even if it’s not with us.
Reschedule or cancel any time. The calendar invite you’ll get by email has a link for both.
Forgot completely? It happens. Book a new time when it suits you. We’re looking forward to meeting you.
They made it. You can too

One of the best decisions of my life
As a former student, I would like to thank DÜS Eckert from the bottom of my heart. I came to you during a difficult phase of my life, and in retrospect it was one of the best decisions of my life. The school and all the staff supported me not only linguistically, but also on a personal level. There I acquired excellent skills that later helped me learn German to C1 level.
Thanks to this solid foundation, I was ultimately able to realize my dream and find my dream job in Germany. I am deeply grateful for your support, your patience, and your dedication. This time will always remain a cherished memory for me.

Found a job right after the exam
When I came to Germany, I didn't speak any German at all. After a conversation with the Jobcenter, I came across DÜS Eckert and I have to say that I made the right decision. From day one, I received support and help.
Our teacher was fantastic, very competent and also funny. I went to class knowing that a great school day awaited me. Now I have a B2 certificate, found a job right after the exam, and am very well integrated into German society.

I was very proud
At the beginning, I didn't understand anything at all, but I didn't give up. On the very first day, I learned how to ask a question and said my first sentence in German. That moment was very special for me, because my teacher was happy and because I myself was very proud.
When I was at A2 level, I was able to explain my problems at the hospital without a translator. This joy of learning German motivated me to do my homework regularly, and that's how I passed my B1 certificate.

Not just grammar
The B1 course was an important milestone on my path to recognition as a pharmacist in Germany. I learned a lot, not just grammar, but also how to speak confidently in professional settings. The course helped me gain confidence and take the next step. Now I'm preparing for the Fachsprachenprüfung.

The teacher is simply amazing!
I took German courses from A1 to B1 at this school and it was a truly great experience! The school is very well organized, modern, and offers a pleasant, friendly learning atmosphere.
The teacher explains everything clearly and understandably and manages to make the lessons interesting and motivating. Thanks to her support, I passed the B1 exam on the first try with a perfect score!

The first step into a new life
After receiving my B1 certificate, I'm now studying B2 and waiting for the recognition of my diploma from the University of Münster. Today I can communicate well with people and also with official authorities.
I'm proud of what I've achieved and strive for even more success in the future. I wish the teacher and the DÜS Eckert school all the best and continued success.

That's where the journey begins
My German learning started with my first steps in Germany, but it was only at DÜS Eckert that I was truly able to master the language. Thanks to a talented teacher and the exciting topics in class, I really wanted to form sentences and respond. That's exactly where the journey into a new language begins.
Now I'm preparing for the next language level and will soon be working as a logistics coordinator.

German, every day
Learning German was a given for me, because I live here. In the course, I didn't just learn the language, but also German culture. The many conversations and the teacher especially helped me integrate better.
Now I work with my wife in her business and speak German every day.
