Language placement tests
If you want to attend language classes in English, French, Spanish and Italian, and if you already have prior knowledge of that language, then you have to take part in the C-Test (online placement tests) for your chosen language. The test result determines the level of study you will be signed up for. Aside from English, all of the languages are available at beginners' levels in Passau.
If you want to start afresh with a language you should simply choose level ‘Grundstufe 1’ (Foundation 1); in that case you do not need to sit a C-Test.
Future: Careers and Competencies
You can find all information about Future: Careers and Competencies (ZKK) and its seminars, IT courses, career orientation events and the online careers portal on the ZKK’s website.
