The STM Star Awards are voted
for by over 3,000 agents
and educators. Voting takes
place over a 3-month period
every year – agencies voting
for educators and vice versa.
Those companies with most
votes in a category are nominated
and announced to the
industry at a glamorous gala
dinner party taking place in
London. did deutsch-institut
received the STM Study
Travel Magazine Star Award
in the category German Language
School in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 and most recently 2012 and is now the first and only German language school to enjoy the STM Super Star Status – an
outstanding achievement!
See the video of the Study Travel Magazine Award Gala 2012:
The did deutsch-institutes Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich are licensed
test centers for the TestDaF – a university language examination
which is required in order to be accepted to study at a German
university. The structure of participants studying at the did
deutsch-institutes has basically changed due to this licensing for
the TestDaF. Major part of the students these days is made up of
academic learners preparing for studying at a German university.
did deutsch-institut’s quality standards in modern
language instruction have been controlled
regularly and for many years by EAQUALS, the
leading European Association for Quality Language
Services. Every three years members of
EAQUALS have to undergo a strict inspection
by independent experts. As from 1999 we have
thus guaranteed an excellent quality level.
Since 1990, did deutsch-institut has been the only
educational institution in Germany that cooperates
with the GfdS. Together with the GfdS did
deutsch-institut developped a national and internationally
recognised diploma examination.
Congratulations from Prof. Dr. Karin M.
Eichhoff-Cyrus | CEO of GfdS: "40 years did deutsch-institut! This is moreover an equivalent
for 20 years of prolific cooperation – from 1989 until
2009 – between did deutsch-institut and the Gesellschaft
für deutsche Sprache (German Language Society). It is our
both institutions’ concern to arouse the interest of adolescents and adults abroad for
German language and culture and to offer them high-quality language and culture
programs in Germany. We wish did deutsch-institut a successful future and are looking
forward to continuing our cooperation."
In 1979 did deutsch-institut joined the Federation
of International Youth Travel Organisations
(FIYTO) which today is named WYSE
40th Company Anniversary
Happy Birthday - 40th Anniversary
2010 was a very important year for our company – we celebrated
a special anniversary: did deutsch-institut turned 40! An event
to be proud of! In difficult economic times like these it should
not be taken for granted to have such a long lasting and successful
company history to look back on. Today did deutsch-institut
is, along with the parastatal Goethe-Institut, the biggest
and best known private specialist worldwide for German as a
Foreign Language. Our many happy students have considerably
contributed to this achievement and the success of did
deutsch-institut! We wouldn’t have come that far without you supporting us.
