FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Your question not here? Write to us at info@v-iz.de. We usually reply the same day, in German or in your language.

Course

  • Is this a live course?

    No. V-IZ is a video course. You watch whenever you want. You pause, jump back, practise at your own pace. Instead of in a classroom, you talk to the AI. It gives instant feedback. No one but you is listening.

  • How many hours of lessons do I get per level?

    You can watch a course day in one go or split it into small chunks. Your progress is saved automatically.

  • Which coursebook do you use?

    We use „Schritte plus Neu“ by Hueber Verlag. It's the book that's also used in many official German courses. That way you're close to the material you'll see again in exams.

  • Can I have several levels at the same time?

    Yes. You can add a second or third level anytime. In your account you can see which levels are active, and you can cancel or add levels individually.

  • Do I get a certificate of participation?

    Yes, after completing a level we'll issue you a certificate of participation as a PDF on request. Just write to us at info@v-iz.de and we'll email it to you.

Payment & shipping

  • What does V-IZ cost?

    You pay 49,99 € per month. No hidden costs, no sign-up fee.

  • Can I cancel anytime?

    Yes. You cancel to the end of the current month. One click on „Account“ opens the Stripe portal, where you switch off the subscription. After that we won't charge you anything.

  • Which payment methods are available?

    Credit card, SEPA direct debit, Apple Pay and Google Pay via Stripe. All payments are encrypted, and we at V-IZ never see your payment details.

  • Do I really get a book?

    Yes, the matching Hueber book is included in the price. When you order, you choose whether to receive it printed by DHL (Germany & Austria) or to activate it digitally via an email code. Both work for 2 years even after the subscription ends.

  • Do you ship abroad too?

    We currently only ship printed books to Germany and Austria. If you live in another country, please choose the digital option, the Hueber e-code works worldwide.

  • How do I sign in?

    In the V-IZ app. Download the app for iPhone or Android, or open app.v-iz.de in your browser, and sign in with the email you used to order your subscription. Your progress syncs everywhere.

  • How do I cancel or change my payment method?

    Via the „Account“ button at the top right. It takes you to the secure Stripe customer portal, where you can download all invoices as PDFs.
