Is this a subscription?

You have the choice. Either you pay 49.99 € a month and cancel any time at the end of the month you paid for, or you pay 195.99 € once and get twelve months of access, with nothing renewing.

Are the books really included?

Yes. Both Hueber books in the “ Schritte plus Neu ” series for this level are completely included. You will receive them as digital codes by email, worldwide and immediately usable.

Use V-IZ directly in the iOS or Android app, or in your browser at v-iz.de/app. 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.

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.

Which exam do I take, and will it be recognized?

You study specifically for the official telc, Goethe or ÖSD exam. You take the exam at a recognized testing center. You can find current orientation values, possible BAMF transfers and links to search for dates on our exam page. The certificate is recognized: at the immigration authorities, for settlement permits, for naturalization and at the employment agency. Important: We are not an integration course sponsored by BAMF, but rather a quick, flexible preparation.

Will the Jobcenter or Agentur fur Arbeit cover the cost?

No. V‑IZ is a private offer, so you pay for it yourself. After your purchase you automatically get a proper invoice with VAT by email, for your records for example.

How does the return policy work?

Simple: go to the footer and click "Cancel contract", enter your email address, and we take care of the rest and get back to you. You can return the video course within 14 days, no questions asked.
