Intensive Courses

Leading to the award of Kaufmann/-frau International Certificate (KIC) certified by the Deutscher Industrie- und Handelskammertag (DIHK) and awarded by the AHK in London*

The Kaufmann/ -frau International Certificate (KIC) "converts" your kaufmännische Ausbildung into an international Kaufmann/-frau. The qualification will prove that you are able to operate in an international business environment and should improve your job prospects.

The Intensive Courses (PDP - Professional Development Programmes) are tailor-made 2 to 3 week courses. They are designed for apprentices to increase their business knowledge, experience and language skills.

The modular system enables a choice from a variety of different options and building up a course to focus on the needs of a particular industry. All tuition is in English and topics covered can be tailored to the demands of specific clients (e.g. Banking, Customer Service, International Trade, Business Administration, Marketing and Housing).

This course is ideal for schools/companies that wish their apprentices to enhance language and communication skills in an English-speaking environment. The students also gain insight into London life and culture and live with British families (Accommodation is normally organised as part of the course).
