German Language Assessment
| Register | Class | Description | Tuition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Register | German Language Assessment | For Adult learners, an assessment may be requested if you are not sure which class is best for you. /// The non-refundable fee as of December 2022 will be $50 for a private assessment with the prices subject to change. After receiving the assessment, the teacher will suggest a class level best suited for the student’s current skill level. The student may then apply the assessment fee towards a six- or five-week course. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the Registrar at registrar@bouldergermanschool.org to use the assessment fee towards a course as it cannot be automatically applied when the student signs up for a course. The student has 16 weeks after the assessment to use the fee towards a course. After 16 weeks this offer expires. The School is not responsible for the student failing to contact the Registrar during the 16-week time period to have the fee applied to a course. | 50.00 |
