Goethe/TELC C1 Preparation Course
Course Overview
The Goethe/TELC C1 Preparation Course is a comprehensive, university-level exam-focused program designed for students who want to prepare for Goethe C1 and TELC C1 Hochschule exams. This course aims to ensure that students make specific preparation for the C1 exam format, develop their academic writing skills, and succeed. The program, which offers an intensive preparation experience with 25 lesson hours per week, lasts 8 weeks and consists of approximately 200 lesson hours.
Target Exams and Prerequisites
This course prepares for Goethe C1 and TELC C1 Hochschule exams. It is suitable for students who have completed C1 level. The Goethe C1 exam is a globally recognized German language certificate and documents advanced level German knowledge. The TELC C1 Hochschule exam is an exam specifically designed for university education and is accepted by German universities. Both exams measure language skills at C1 level and are accepted as sufficient for university education.
Course Content and Preparation Methods
During the course, students make specific preparation for the C1 exam format. The four sections of the exam (reading, listening, writing, speaking) are studied in detail and exam techniques are taught. Academic writing, text analysis, research writing techniques, and professional presentation skills are taught. Students are prepared for the real exam environment with mock exams, past questions, and exam simulations. At the end of the course, students have all the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the C1 exam.
Teaching Method and Classroom Environment
The course is conducted by experienced teachers and each class has a maximum of 8 students. This small class size allows for a focus on students' individual needs. Classes are enriched with exam format-specific exercises, academic writing work, mock exams, feedback sessions, and individual counseling. Students not only learn grammar but also develop their academic and professional skills.
Support Services
We provide support on exam application processes. Our students are informed about exam dates, application processes, and exam fees. At the end of the course, students will have completed all necessary preparation to obtain a C1 level certificate and can apply to German universities. If you fail, there is an opportunity to repeat the course. **Important:** Campus German does not guarantee exam success. Exam results depend on various factors and are determined by official exam institutions.
