Citizenship preparation course

Would you like to apply for Swiss citizenship and need to prepare for the interview? Then join our Join our citizenship preparation course! More specifically, we can help you prepare for the interview with the Einbürgerungskommission (citizenship committee), which is a necessary part of the citizenship process in Switzerland. The aim of this short course is to familiarise students with everyday life and culture in Switzerland as well as providing an understanding of the key public institutions at the local, cantonal and federal level.
For this course a minimum German level of A2/B1 is required. For the citizenship process the following language skills are required: A2 writing / reading / listening and B1 speaking. We recommend taking an exam for the B1 certificate. As Wordculture is an officially recognized telc examination centre, you can sit the exam directly at our school.

Our Citizenship preparation courses are designed for adults and students who wish to apply for Swiss citizenship.
