Deutsch&Mehr in Graz – German courses with heart and competence

Deutsch&Mehr is a language institute in the heart of Graz, offering German courses for a wide range of target groups. The program spans from literacy courses to C1 level and includes intensive courses, evening classes, and one-on-one lessons. It is now also a licensed ÖSD examination centre.

Diverse range of language learning opportunities

Deutsch&Mehr stands out for its diverse and needs-based offerings in the field of language education and integration. This variety allows for flexibility in addressing individual life situations and learning goals while providing targeted support. For participants with caregiving responsibilities, Deutsch&Mehr offers courses with integrated childcare – an important contribution to balancing family and education.

Deutsch&Mehr as an ÖSD examination centre

A key focus lies in its role as an examination centre – now as an official ÖSD partner. Participants can obtain internationally recognized language certificates directly on-site – a decisive advantage for education, career, and social participation.

Businesses also benefit from these services: Deutsch&Mehr designs customized German courses for companies that want to support their employees linguistically – flexible, practical, and tailored to professional contexts.

Convenient location, modern facilities

Its central location in the modern Styria Center in Graz is another plus. The classrooms at Volksgartenstraße 1 are easily accessible by public transport and car – a further advantage for all course participants.

This makes it easier to integrate courses into everyday life, whether you come from the city or the surrounding area. The building offers spacious, bright classrooms with state-of-the-art infrastructure – including smartboards, flexible seating, Wi-Fi, as well as quiet study zones and meeting areas for exchange and consultation.

German courses for all language levels

The course program is as diverse as the people who attend. Whether beginners with no prior knowledge or advanced learners aiming for a C1 certificate – the institute offers German courses at all levels according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Options include intensive courses, evening classes, weekend formats, and private lessons – available year-round with flexible start dates. For working individuals or parents with caregiving responsibilities, specially scheduled courses are offered. In some cases, discounts for socially disadvantaged groups or publicly funded places are available.

German lessons with personal interaction

Deutsch&Mehr places great emphasis on innovative and interactive teaching methods. The use of modern materials, digital media, and practical exercises ensures varied, real-life-oriented language instruction. Small group sizes allow for individualized support while maintaining social interaction.

Participants come from all over the world – young adults, parents, professionals, recognized refugees, students, and people with a migration background who want to improve their opportunities in the Austrian job market. The educational concept at Deutsch&Mehr is tailored to this diversity: individual, practice-oriented, and with a clear goal – integration through language and education.

Diverse and committed teaching team

The teaching and learning environment at Deutsch&Mehr is characterized by openness, respect, and intercultural diversity. It’s not only about teaching language, but also about genuine exchange, encounters, and support on the path to a self-determined life in Austria.

Behind the successful course operations is a highly qualified, multilingual teaching team that stands out not only for professional competence but also for empathy and intercultural sensitivity. Many instructors bring international teaching experience, speak multiple languages, and have migration backgrounds themselves – giving them a deep understanding of their participants’ challenges.

Again and again, participants report that Deutsch&Mehr is the first time they’ve truly felt seen and respected within the education system. The team’s commitment beyond the classroom is also remarkable – through project work, counselling, networking with social institutions, and individual support for career orientation.

Why become an ÖSD examination centre?

Becoming a licensed ÖSD examination centre was a logical step for Deutsch&Mehr in line with its vision to combine high-quality language education with real opportunities for participants.

“The ability to offer official German exams in-house creates the perfect combination of teaching, exam preparation, and certification – all under one roof and in a familiar environment. Our motivation was to provide language education not only theoretically, but to offer measurable and recognized qualifications that carry weight in the education system, the job market, and with authorities,” explains Managing Director and ÖSD exam official Birgit Lorber.

The ÖSD certificate is internationally recognized and represents a high-quality standard, she adds: “Exactly what we aim to live in our teaching every day.”

New goals with the ÖSD

As an ÖSD examination centre, Deutsch&Mehr sees opportunities to expand its course offerings and reach new target groups – such as individuals who specifically need an ÖSD exam for studies, work, or residence permit extensions.

Demand for standardized exams is growing, and with its certification the institute can respond flexibly to this need. Looking ahead, there are plans for more vocational qualification programs and integration projects.

Currently, Deutsch&Mehr offers the following ÖSD exams:

• ZA1
• ZA2
• ZDÖ B1
• ZB2
• ZC1
• ZC2

Quality, commitment, and mission

At Deutsch&Mehr, German exams are not seen as an endpoint, but as a door opener – leading to greater participation, education, and equal opportunities. At the same time, the institute aims to remain a reliable regional partner for public institutions, businesses, and social organizations – with certified quality, personal commitment, and a clear mission: language as the key to integration.

In this spirit, we wish our new ÖSD examination centre in Graz continued success and joy in the years ahead!
