Further training in German or English
Course decisionsTeaching language is only one part of the language decision. A course may use English materials, German discussion and an assessment in one language. Your best choice is the one that lets you understand complex content while preparing you for the communication expected in the role and workplace you want.
Check each language setting separately
Ask about the language used in live teaching, written materials, group work, project feedback and examinations. Do not assume that an English course has an English speaking group or that a German course uses only German source material. A clear answer helps you plan support and decide whether you can participate confidently.
Prioritise comprehension for difficult concepts
Choose the language in which you can follow explanations, ask questions and explain your own reasoning. Learning a new technical subject already uses attention. If language makes every task much slower, the course may need more support or a different format. Technical vocabulary can be added deliberately without sacrificing basic understanding.
Connect the course to the target workplace
Look at job descriptions and speak with people in the field where possible. Some teams work mainly in English while local customer contact, documentation or interviews may need German. Course language is one input to career readiness, not a complete measure of language ability. Build the vocabulary you need for the situations you expect.
