Your teacher
Marlene teaches you from A1 to B1.
A dedicated teacher and a clear curriculum take you all the way through to your exam.
A native speaker from Heilbronn, Marlene has been teaching in-person courses for years, and now she's in your video course too.
Why V-IZ
Our classroom course, now on video.
We've been running this course successfully in person since 2009, Monday to Friday, 9 to 1 pm, over two months per level. Now you get that same intensive preparation as a flexible video course. With identical content, the official textbook, and Marlene as your dedicated teacher, you'll learn just as thoroughly as in our school, just from the comfort of your home.
Exactly like the classroom course
- A real qualified teacher: Marlene is your certified and trained German-as-a-foreign-language instructor in the videos.
- Official textbook: you learn with "Schritte plus Neu" by Hueber, the industry standard.
- Targeted exam preparation: the course prepares you specifically for telc, Goethe, and the DTZ.
- Full content: you get the real depth, lesson by lesson, completely unabridged.
Just better for you
- Study comfortably from home and save all that commuting time.
- Learn entirely at your own pace, pause, rewind, and repeat whenever you like.
- The AI trainer practices speaking and writing with you around the clock, with instant corrections.
- A flexible flat rate of 149,99 € per level instead of expensive monthly course fees.
An established language school with a track record, not just another anonymous online experiment.
Your path to the exam
How you get to your exam and your certificate
- 1
40 course days with Marlene
One video lesson with Marlene every day: you learn grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation step by step using the Hueber textbook, just like in-person classes in Heilbronn.
- 2
Practice speaking and writing
The AI trainer listens to you, corrects you instantly, and practices with you day and night, completely without embarrassment. That's the interactive practice you can't get when studying alone.
- 3
Simulate the exam
Practice the real exam format across all four areas, listening, reading, writing, and speaking, as many times as you need until you feel truly ready.
- 4
Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate (Optional)
If you need an official certificate for authorities, the job centre, an employer, naturalisation, or a visa, you simply take the telc, Goethe, or DTZ exam at a centre near you.
Good to know: An exam is completely optional. Many people learn simply for personal growth or their career and never take one. If you do want a certificate, we prepare you for all four parts and show you where to register. You take the exam externally; the fee of approx. 110 bis 260 € (depending on level) is paid directly to the examination centre. How the exam works: providers, dates and costs →
You study with V-IZ but don't pass the exam? No problem: we extend your access for free by another full year.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a subscription?
No. You buy the course once for 149,99 € and get full access for 12 months. No subscription, no monthly fees.
Are the books really included?
Yes. Both Hueber books from the "Schritte plus Neu" series for your level are fully included. You can receive them digitally anywhere in the world or as printed books across the EU for just 3,99 € shipping.
Where do I learn?
In the V-IZ app for iOS and Android, or simply in your browser at app.v-iz.de. Your learning progress syncs automatically across all your devices.
Does it prepare me for an exam?
Yes. You practice all four key areas: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. With the AI trainer and the Hueber books, you get all the practice you need for your telc or Goethe exam. The exam itself and the certificate are obtained separately at an official exam center. The exam fee is not included in the course price.
Which exam is right for you? →Can I get my money back?
Yes. You can get a full refund on the video course within 7 days, no questions asked. The Hueber books are separate items with their own return policy; check our return info page for details.
Isn't this free at the Integrationskurs?
With a voucher, the state integration course is often free. But it usually comes with waiting lists that last months and fixed morning class times. For people who work shifts, have a family, or simply need to move fast, that rarely works. At V-IZ you can start today. Learn in the evenings, at night, or on weekends from home, with no waiting list. If you have the time and a spot in an integration course, great. If not, we're here for you right now.
