German Language Course in the UAE — A1 & A2
German Language A1 & A2 is a 48-hour beginner programme at Millennium Academy covering the first two CEFR levels, 24 hours each. It builds speaking, listening, reading and writing from no prior German, in classroom or online batches on weekday evenings and weekends.

What's included
- Two CEFR levels in one pathway: A1 (24 hours) followed by A2 (24 hours)
- Equal weight on listening, speaking, reading and writing — real conversations, not just grammar tables
- No prior German needed — you start from the alphabet and first greetings
- Classroom and online batches on weekday evenings and weekends
- Everyday topics: shopping, directions, work, housing, doctor visits and phone calls
- Certificate of Completion from Millennium Academy
Is this course right for you?
This programme is built for professionals who recognise themselves below.
Professionals planning a career in Germany (Arbeitsvisum) who want German for interviews, onboarding and daily life.
Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) applicants, for whom basic German is part of the card's language requirement and points system.
Future trainees (Ausbildung) — A1–A2 is the foundation for the B1–B2 level most vocational programmes ask for.
Students heading to Germany — even on English-taught degrees, German makes daily life easier.
Spouses joining family in Germany (Familiennachzug) — many spouse visas require proof of basic German (A1).
Anyone with German-speaking clients, or travelling in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
Why earn German A1 & A2?
All four skills, with equal weight
Hören, Sprechen, Lesen, Schreiben — listening, speaking, reading and writing are taught side by side, so you can handle real conversations and short written messages, not just fill in grammar tables.
One clear pathway from A1 to A2
Grundstufe 1 (A1) and Grundstufe 2 (A2) are 24 hours each and designed to follow one another, so you can move from your first words to confident everyday German without changing course.
Phrases you can use from week one
You practise sentences such as “Ich heiße … und komme aus …”, “Wie viel kostet das?” and “Ich hätte gern einen Kaffee, bitte.” from the very first level.
Built around real situations
Ordering in a café, shopping, asking directions, reading housing ads, visiting the doctor, making phone calls and dealing with offices and banks — the situations you will actually meet.
Grammar taught in context
Present tense, sein/haben, W-questions, articles and the accusative at A1; Perfekt, the dative, two-way prepositions, separable verbs and weil/dass/wenn at A2 — each introduced through the topic you are practising.
A schedule that fits a working week
Classroom and online batches run on weekday evenings and weekends, so you can learn around a job or studies.

German A1 & A2 — your questions answered
No. The course starts at A1 with no prior German required — you begin with the alphabet, sounds, greetings and introductions.
A1 (Grundstufe 1, 24 hours) covers first sentences: introductions, numbers, shopping, ordering food, directions and simple forms. A2 (Grundstufe 2, 24 hours) moves into everyday life: past events, housing, work, health, travel, phone calls, short emails and giving opinions.
The course builds the German language skills that visa routes such as a work visa, the Opportunity Card or spouse visas ask about, but it does not itself issue a visa-recognised certificate. Language rules vary by case and change over time, and official proof is usually an exam certificate from a recognised provider, taken separately. Confirm the current requirement with the German mission before applying.
No. It is a 48-hour language programme with equal weight on listening, speaking, reading and writing, ending in a Millennium Academy Certificate of Completion. It is not tied to a specific exam board.
A1–A2 is the foundation for B1 and beyond. Many Ausbildung places and employers ask for B1–B2, and German-taught university degrees usually require C1. Ask us on your consultation call about your target level.
Both. Classroom and online batches run on weekday evenings and weekends.
Yes — a Millennium Academy Certificate of Completion once you finish the programme.
