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 \u00d6SD examination centre.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Diverse range of language learning opportunities<\/h2>\n<p>Deutsch&amp;Mehr stands out for its diverse and needs-based offerings in the field of <strong>language education and integration<\/strong>. This variety allows for flexibility in addressing individual life situations and learning goals while providing targeted support. For participants with caregiving responsibilities, Deutsch&amp;Mehr offers <strong>courses with integrated childcare<\/strong> \u2013 an important contribution to balancing family and education.<\/p>\n<h2>Deutsch&amp;Mehr as an \u00d6SD examination centre<\/h2>\n<p>A key focus lies in its role as an examination centre \u2013 now as an <strong>official \u00d6SD partner<\/strong>. Participants can obtain internationally recognized language certificates directly on-site \u2013 a decisive advantage for education, career, and social participation.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses also benefit from these services: Deutsch&amp;Mehr designs <strong>customized German courses<\/strong> for companies that want to support their employees linguistically \u2013 flexible, practical, and tailored to professional contexts.<\/p>\n<h2>Convenient location, modern facilities<\/h2>\n<p>Its central <strong>location in the modern Styria Center<\/strong> in Graz is another plus. The classrooms at Volksgartenstra\u00dfe 1 are easily accessible by public transport and car \u2013 a further advantage for all course participants.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it easier to integrate courses into everyday life, whether you come from the city or the surrounding area. The building offers <strong>spacious, bright classrooms<\/strong> with state-of-the-art infrastructure \u2013 including smartboards, flexible seating, Wi-Fi, as well as quiet study zones and meeting areas for exchange and consultation.<\/p>\n<h2>German courses for all language levels<\/h2>\n<p>The course program is as diverse as the people who attend. Whether <strong>beginners<\/strong> with no prior knowledge or <strong>advanced learners<\/strong> aiming for a C1 certificate \u2013 the institute offers German courses at all levels according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).<\/p>\n<p>Options include intensive courses, evening classes, weekend formats, and private lessons \u2013 available<strong> year-round with flexible start dates<\/strong>. For working individuals or parents with caregiving responsibilities, specially scheduled courses are offered. In some cases, <strong>discounts for socially disadvantaged groups<\/strong> or publicly funded places are available.<\/p>\n<h2>German lessons with personal interaction<\/h2>\n<p>Deutsch&amp;Mehr places great emphasis on <strong>innovative and interactive teaching methods<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n<p>Participants come <strong>from all over the world<\/strong> \u2013 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&amp;Mehr is tailored to this diversity: individual, practice-oriented, and <strong>with a clear goal<\/strong> \u2013 integration through language and education.<\/p>\n<h2>Diverse and committed teaching team<\/h2>\n<p>The teaching and learning environment at Deutsch&amp;Mehr is characterized by openness, respect, and intercultural diversity. It\u2019s not only about teaching language, but also about <strong>genuine exchange, encounters, and support<\/strong> on the path to a self-determined life in Austria.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the successful course operations is a highly qualified, <strong>multilingual teaching team<\/strong> 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<strong> migration backgrounds<\/strong> themselves \u2013 giving them a deep understanding of their participants\u2019 challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Again and again, participants report that Deutsch&amp;Mehr is the first time they\u2019ve truly felt seen and respected within the education system. The team\u2019s commitment beyond the classroom is also remarkable \u2013 through <strong>project work, counselling, networking with social institutions<\/strong>, and individual support for career orientation.<\/p>\n<h2>Why become an \u00d6SD examination centre?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Becoming a licensed \u00d6SD examination centre<\/strong> was a logical step for Deutsch&amp;Mehr in line with its vision to combine high-quality language education with real opportunities for participants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ability to <strong>offer official German exams in-house<\/strong> creates the perfect combination of teaching, exam preparation, and certification \u2013 all under one roof and in a familiar environment. Our motivation was to provide language education not only theoretically, but to <strong>offer measurable and recognized qualifications<\/strong> that carry weight in the education system, the job market, and with authorities,\u201d explains Managing Director and \u00d6SD exam official Birgit Lorber.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>\u00d6SD certificate is internationally recognized<\/strong> and represents a high-quality standard, she adds: \u201cExactly what we aim to live in our teaching every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>New goals with the \u00d6SD<\/h2>\n<p>As an \u00d6SD examination centre, Deutsch&amp;Mehr sees <strong>opportunities to expand its course offerings<\/strong> and reach new target groups \u2013 such as individuals who specifically need an \u00d6SD exam for studies, work, or residence permit extensions.<\/p>\n<p>Demand for standardized exams is growing, and with its certification the institute can respond flexibly to this need. Looking ahead, there are plans for <strong>more vocational qualification programs<\/strong> and integration projects.<\/p>\n<h3>Currently, Deutsch&amp;Mehr offers the following \u00d6SD exams:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/new.osd.at\/en\/exams\/oesd-exams\/oesd-zertifikat-a1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZA1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/new.osd.at\/en\/exams\/oesd-exams\/oesd-zertifikat-a2-za2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZA2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/new.osd.at\/en\/exams\/oesd-exams\/oesd-zertifikat-deutsch-oesterreich-b1-zdoe-b1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZD\u00d6 B1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/new.osd.at\/en\/exams\/oesd-exams\/oesd-zertifikat-b2-zb2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZB2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/new.osd.at\/en\/exams\/oesd-exams\/oesd-zertifikat-c1-zc1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZC1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/new.osd.at\/en\/exams\/oesd-exams\/oesd-zertifikat-c2-zc2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZC2<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Quality, commitment, and mission<\/h2>\n<p>At Deutsch&amp;Mehr, German exams are not seen as an endpoint, but <strong>as a door opener<\/strong> \u2013 leading to greater participation, education, and equal opportunities.
