AATG Agent for Goethe Institut
Effective immediately, AATG will act as agent for the Goethe-Institut language courses at the 15 Goethe Instituts in Germany. These institutes offer an excellent, broad-based program for learning German to more than 24,000 students from all over the world each year. Students not only learn the German language, but get to know the country, thanks to a comprehensive cultural and leisure program at each institute. Depending on the student's language level, it is possible to prepare for the various internationally recognized German language exams. Intensive and super intensive courses of different lengths (12-, 8-, 4- and 2- weeks) and various levels are offered all year long. In addition, there are summer programs for younger learners (9-20 years) each summer. Also, special interest courses are available, e.g., German for business, the legal profession, tourism, and the work place, as well as for teachers and senior citizens. Students can earn college credits through an arrangement with Millersville Unviersity of Pennsylvania.

AATG will gain a small "royalty" for referring students to these courses, so please contact us for further information, brochures, and the application forms (with the AATG-Stempel!).
