Funding from AMS, ÖIF and WAFF
We put together a cost estimate for your German course or your German exam and assist you in submitting it to the appropriate funding agency such as the WAFF, AMS or ÖIF.
If funding for your course or exam is approved, the course fees are either partially or wholly paid by the respective cooperation partners.
As soon as the approval for the cost coverage is at hand, we will reserve your place in our next course.

When submitting a grant application you will need our free quote to present at the WAFF, AMS or ÖIF. For the cost estimate, we require the following:
- Name

- Social security number

We send it to you via E-Mail or you can pick up the cost estimate in our office. Our office is open Mondays to Thursdays from 9.00am to 4.00pm.
