“I did a preparation class for my fide B1 and passed it. My teacher Alina was the best support, she made sure I felt prepared and confident, and the whole team was kind, responsive and professional.”

“After six years in Switzerland my German had gone rusty, and I was not confident about the B1 my permit needed. I tried Italk’s 1:1 anyway. From the first lesson, Margarita saw how much I already knew but was not using. After just five lessons I sat the fide test and passed at B1.”

“I had a fantastic experience with Italk in Zurich. They prepared me thoroughly for the B1 fide test and I passed. The teacher was outstanding and the staff made everything smooth. I had tried other schools before and none compared.”

No, this is preparation. You book and sit the official fide exam separately, with us or at any accredited centre. Italk is an official fide and telc centre, so you can do both in one place.
fide covers A1 to B1. You should already have studied the level you want to sit. Complete beginners take a level course first, then prepare for the exam.
Since 2017, 99.5% of the students who we prepared one-to-one passed their exam. (We don’t have data on crash courses yet).
The 1:1 course is built around you and comes with a money-back guarantee: pass, or we refund your course cost. The crash course is more affordable group preparation that gets you familiar with the exam, with some tips, and has no guarantee.
New crash courses start every week, and 1:1 lessons begin as soon as we can match you with a teacher for your preferred start day.
