Program  

The teaching programs of the "Probezeit" (probationary period) can vary greatly depending on the school, profile and teacher. However, on the one hand, we will teach the students basic skills that will help them progress regardless of the specific lesson content, and on the other hand, we will teach topics that experience has shown to occur frequently during the "Probezeit".
