Its thematic scope includes trade, economics, finance and marketing. The main goal of the course is to achieve effective communication in professional life as well as to prepare our participants for the PWD (International Business German Examination).

Classes with practitioners

Our business German courses are not only about learning specialized words and phrases or grammar present in professional communication. Among other things, they will also enable you to get to know the culture and business environment in Germany as well as to directly draw on the experience of our teachers who spent many years working abroad themselves.

Making business in German – why are the basics not enough?

Each industry has its own specialized vocabulary that you will not happen to learn in general, non-business-oriented classes. Business German includes numerous idioms, official phrases used in forms and correspondence with authorities and business organizations as well as the fluency in making phone calls and last but not least – German small talk!

Business German courses provide a comprehensive preparation for all more or less standard situations that you may encounter while working abroad. It is truly important that you can introduce yourself and greet your new foreign friend in German, but it is even more important that you are able to take the floor during a business conference or brainstorm in a German-speaking company. In the business German courses at our school, you will be able to practice all these situations in order to be fully prepared for professional challenges.

The PWD exam – when and for whom?

Prüfung Wirtschaftsdeutsch International (PWD) is an exam confirming advanced knowledge of German at the C1 level with particular emphasis on business and economic issues. Due to the high level of qualifications required to pass this exam, a certificate confirming this achievement is highly appreciated by international corporations and employers around the world. The exam requires solid preparation in the form of either a business German course or independent training.

The exam verifies the ability to read and understand a specialized text, to professionally draw up official correspondence, listen to and understand longer messages, talk to customers and business partners as well as introduce and express yourself. The PWD exam consists of a written part, which lasts 180 minutes and is carried out in groups, and a 20-minute individual interview with the examiner.

The form of the PWD exam was developed by the Goethe-Institut, the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce and Carl Duisberg Centers. Although it is one of the most difficult exams testing business German language proficiency, it is definitely worth sitting because if you pass it, you will hold a certificate of advanced knowledge of the German language with particular emphasis on the business environment. Moreover, a certificate of a completed Business German course will additionally prove your strong commitment to increasing your competences as a candidate for a position in a German-speaking company.

Business German courses and working abroad

German-speaking countries more and more often turn out to be a bull’s eye when it comes to Poles’ decisions about career development. It also turns out that the knowledge of business German is gaining importance, since it significantly increases the candidate’s chances of being offered the position of their dreams.

The authors of the report “Employment and earnings in Europe 2019. Polish specialists abroad” indicate that as much as 64.6 percent of the employers who recruited via the europa.jobs portal required knowledge of German from their potential employees.

Moreover, the same research has shown that working in German-speaking countries simply pays off, with the average monthly remuneration offered by employers in Switzerland in 2019 amounting to EUR 4,985 gross, followed by EUR 2,235 gross in Austria and EUR 1,975 gross in Germany. It is also noteworthy that employees who can speak business German at a higher level are more in demand on the labor market.
