HR funds German tuition – how do we know employees are actually progressing?
We agree practical language goals and compare 3 progress checks: before, during and at the end of the course.
Why this problem affects the company
After months, HR records only “course attended” while managers cannot see a difference.
When professional skills are in place but German is missing at critical moments, HR needs more than a generic vocabulary course. The starting point is what the employee must understand, say and document during a real workday.
How our live intensive German course addresses it
Before/after practice with calls, clarifying questions, handovers or B1/B2 exam tasks.
Groups of up to six practise speaking and listening with immediate correction. The focus extends beyond individual technical terms to complete questions, answers and handovers.
Your live German coach gives direct feedback. We emphasise listening, independent responses and realistic workplace discussions.
What your employee practises
- Listening: identify essential information in a normal workplace situation.
- Speaking: ask relevant questions and explain a task in your own words.
- Role play: handle a difficult conversation without reading a script.
- Transfer: repeat a comparable task and document the difference.
From workplace problem to a measurable next step
| Workplace situation | Live course approach | Observable goal |
|---|---|---|
| After months, HR records only “course attended” while managers cannot see a difference. | Before/after practice with calls, clarifying questions, handovers or B1/B2 exam tasks. | Initial level, comparable practice tasks and oral progress can be reviewed. |
| Listening: identify essential information in a normal workplace situation. | Speaking: ask relevant questions and explain a task in your own words. | Repeat a similar task with new content and compare listening, speaking and questions. |
| Role play: handle a difficult conversation without reading a script. | Your live German coach gives direct feedback. We emphasise listening, independent responses and realistic workplace discussions. | Initial level, comparable practice tasks and oral progress can be reviewed. |
| Example of German used at work | „Vor Kursbeginn konnte ich nur zuhören. Jetzt kann ich die Aufgabe auf Deutsch erklären.“ | Transfer: repeat a comparable task and document the difference. |
Course facts and figures
| Element | Extent | What this means for your business |
|---|---|---|
| 5 days per week | 90 minutes per teaching day | 1 lesson unit = 45 minutes. 90 live minutes are 2 units; five teaching days add up to 10 units per week. |
| Up to 6 learners | 1:1 / 3–6 | Optional one-to-one or closed company group |
1 lesson unit = 45 minutes. 90 live minutes are 2 units; five teaching days add up to 10 units per week.
Course length and realistic timetable
Example progress review plan
These are possible review points; we agree the actual interval during the first consultation.
| Review point | Practical review |
|---|---|
| Before the course | Placement check and a short practical task to document the starting point. |
| Agreed intermediate check | Repeat a similar task with new content and compare listening, speaking and questions. |
| End of the agreed programme | Review the communication goal and plan another course stage if needed. |
These figures describe the teaching programme, not a promise that participants will reach a particular level or pass an external examination. Holidays and exam dates can extend the schedule.
How to track language progress
Initial level, comparable practice tasks and oral progress can be reviewed.
- Check the person’s starting level and the language required for the role.
- Practise typical discussions and listening situations during live lessons.
- Speak repeatedly in a group of up to six learners and receive immediate feedback.
- Retest a comparable real-life task to assess progress, without promising an automatic result.
Language training does not replace professional recognition procedures, required workplace safety training or external examinations.
Plan a company course for this situation
Tell us the current level, whether your goal is B1/B2 or a specific workplace task, the number of employees and suitable teaching hours. We will plan an appropriate live programme.
