Step 03

Preparing your German

Language is prepared before the decisive steps.

We guide you toward language preparation suited to your level and your project.

Depending on the programme followed, it may include:

  • German courses.
  • Practising speaking.
  • Exam preparation.
  • Professional vocabulary and technical language (Fachsprache).
  • Language preparation for interviews.

The required level depends in particular on the path, the profession, the employer and the applicable requirements.

Step 04

Assembling and preparing your file

A coherent file suited to the intended path.

We tell you which documents to prepare according to your situation and the identified requirements.

This step may include:

  • A preliminary review of the CV and supporting documents.
  • Checking the consistency of the available information.
  • Identifying missing documents.
  • Preparing the application file.
  • Guidance toward a recognition procedure, when one is required.

The authenticity of documents and their final acceptance rest with the checks and decisions of the competent bodies.

Step 05

Preparing your application and interviews

Presenting your profile with clarity and confidence.

When the path provides for it, we support you in preparing your application to employers or the relevant bodies.

Depending on your needs, this support may include:

  • Preparing the CV and cover letter.
  • Interview preparation.
  • Simulations and communication exercises.
  • Presenting your training, your skills and your motivation.

For a recruitment, the employer retains the final selection decision.

Step 06

Coordinating the applicable procedures

Preparing the next steps methodically.

After a selection or when a path requires it, we support you in preparing and coordinating the agreed procedures.

Depending on your situation, they may concern:

  • The recognition of qualifications.
  • Documents related to training or employment.
  • Preparing a visa file.
  • Exchanges with the relevant contacts.
  • The practical preparation for departure.

Requirements and procedures vary by path. Final decisions rest with the competent authorities and bodies.

Step 07

Preparing your arrival and integration

Your project does not end with obtaining a document.

When this service is included in your support, we help you prepare the next steps of your settling in and your professional integration.

The preparation may cover:

  • Practical information before departure.
  • Understanding your future professional environment.
  • The first settling-in steps.
  • Cultural bearings and communication at work.
  • The follow-up provided within your support.

The terms depend on the path and the agreed services.

A transparent method, tailored to your situation

Every candidate has a different path. The steps, timelines, documents and costs depend on their project and the applicable requirements.

Before any commitment, we clarify the planned services, each party's responsibilities and the next steps. We do not guarantee recruitment, admission, recognition or the issuance of a visa.
