This course is an extension of the standard group course with 4 lessons in the mornings from Monday to Friday and further 5 or 10 private lessons in the afternoons, scheduled individually on demand and teacher/classroom availability.

Group lessons allow you to focus on practical Chinese. You can add one or two private lessons per day for review and extra practice or learn about any other areas of interest you might have such as business Chinese or Chinese culture and history. 

This program is designed to combine a Chinese language course with on-the-job exposure for professional practices; develop and enhance your Chinese skills in a working environment. First, you attend the Standard Chinese language course of 4 or 8 weeks, which is then followed by an internship of 8 to 24 weeks. If you already have an intermediate Chinese level, you can also do the internship part only.

This is a great way to learn about the different company culture in China. This program is designed to prepare and place you in a Chinese company for an unpaid work experience (full day engagement). Placements can happen in almost any field requested.

Prices:
4 weeks Standard course + 8-24 weeks internship: EUR 1.275
8 weeks Standard course + 8-24 weeks internship: EUR 1.945
