The MIG language school is expanding its tried-and-tested programme in Egypt with a further location: MIG is now also represented in Alexandria – with certified ÖSD exams for German at all language levels.

Holistic approach to language learning

The MIG Innovation Group was founded in 2015 by Ali Mansour and Yasser S. Muhammad. The team consists of highly qualified specialists in German as a foreign language (GFL) who have studied, lived and worked in Germany.

MIG takes a holistic approach to language teaching that goes beyond simply learning German. The institution not only teaches its students language skills, but also intercultural knowledge – for successful integration in academic and professional contexts.

Leading in German as a foreign language in Egypt

MIG has established itself as one of the leading language schools for German as a foreign language in Egypt. The institution currently operates a total of four branches in Nasr City, Dokki and Alexandria and is planning further expansion in Upper Egypt and the Nile Delta. The aim is to offer high-quality language courses and exams to an even wider range of learners.

Strong international partnerships

A special feature of MIG is the versatility of the language programmes offered and the close cooperation with renowned international partners. These include, among others:

• Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch (ÖSD), for which MIG has been the official examination centre for ÖSD certificates since 2022.
• The Sprachenakademie Aachen (Germany), with which MIG cooperates and organises telc exams.
• The University of Siena (Italy), with which MIG co-operates in the CILS certification.
• International companies such as Vodafone, which uses MIG for specific job-related language training, especially for employees in customer service.

In addition, there are collaborations with GIZ, Signite and TransMigra, which specifically prepare Egyptian skilled workers for the German labour market.

Thanks to these strong partnerships and the holistic teaching approach, MIG offers its students the highest quality in language teaching, complemented by internationally recognised certifications and practical training opportunities.

The offer around German

• General German lessons: Courses from A1 to C2
• Job-related language courses: Customised courses for companies and specific professional groups (e.g. nursing staff)
• Private courses: Individually tailored programmes for individuals or groups
• German courses for children: special programmes to prepare for entrance exams at German schools
• Notarised translations: Internationally recognised translations of Arabic documents into German

Modern environment for language teaching

The language school’s classrooms are equipped with modern projectors, whiteboards, loudspeakers, laptops and interactive whiteboards to make lessons as dynamic and effective as possible.

The institution employs a total of 40 qualified GFL teachers – all of whom speak German at C1/C2 level. They regularly take part in training courses in Egypt, Austria and Germany in order to continuously expand their teaching skills and keep up to date with the latest methodology and didactics.

Above all, MIG emphasises a motivating, interactive and practice-oriented learning environment that makes the learning process not only efficient, but also exciting and varied. The teaching methods include modern digital textbooks, simulation-based exercises, project-orientated learning and intercultural training, which enable students to prepare for their academic and professional future in a practical way.

The language school also offers flexible course times and discount programmes for certain target groups.

ÖSD German exams at MIG

As a licensed examination centre for the Österreichisches Sprachdiplom Deutsch (ÖSD), MIG now also offers ÖSD exams for all language levels, including the ‘Pflegeprüfung’ nursing exam, in Alexandria in addition to its existing locations:

• ZA1
• KID A1
• ZA2
• KID A2
• ZB1
• ZB2
• ZB2/PMB
• ZC1

Language tests for German-speaking countries

MIG was motivated by the need for internationally recognised language examinations for German in Egypt: The increasing number of students and professionals wishing to emigrate to Germany, Austria or Switzerland has shown that a local quality-assured examination centre is urgently needed.

‘With the opening of the new ÖSD examination centre, we want to expand our range of examinations,’ reports Dr Muhammad, MIG founder and ÖSD exam manager. ‘The wider range of language certificates should increase our learners’ chances of an academic or professional future in German-speaking countries.’

Recognition of the ÖSD worldwide

As the ÖSD German certificates are recognised worldwide as official language certificates, MIG course participants have the flexibility to qualify for university places, work permits or visa applications.

According to Dr Muhammad, demand from students and companies is high. ‘Many of our students and cooperation partners prefer ÖSD certificates, as they assess language skills in a practical way and are geared towards realistic communication situations.’

Improving the quality of education in Egypt

Furthermore, the partnership with the ÖSD and other renowned institutions strengthens MIG’s position as a leading examination and language centre in Egypt.

As an ÖSD examination centre, MIG focuses on high examination standards and didactic quality in order to sustainably promote the training of professionals and students. Overall, MIG has been able to further expand its commitment to high-quality language examinations and excellent training by being licensed as an official ÖSD exam centre since 2022.
