What our participants say

"Especially I would like to mention the ESiSt team, which has been very attentive to me every step of the way, from the beginning to the end.
The SVB course gave me the tools I needed to achieve my goal of studying at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. Today, when I go to a lecture where I have to listen to the lecturer, when I write a paper or when I want to express my opinion in a discussion, I always thank this course and think that without it, I would not be able to do such tasks.
The SVB course has prepared me well for university, the teachers have always paid attention to the fact that we are fit to study. The SVB course not only prepares students linguistically and professionally, through the course I was able to learn and understand more about the culture of Germany and the political system.
I recommend the course to others. Everyone should take advantage of this great opportunity."
