The basic level (beginners) consist of three modules (Grundstufe from 1 to 3: A1, A2 y B1). Every module has a duration of 160 class hours.
After the basic level follow the levels Mittelstufe1 and Mittelstufe 2 (B2/C1) as well as 'Oberstufe' (C2).

Once the level B1 is surpassed, you can take an exam to acquire the European Language Certificate (Zertifikat Deutsch).
Once you pass the Mittelstufe levels, you can take the Zertifikat B2 and Zertifikat C1.
