Participant feedback – experiences with FIA

« I am so glad that I took the FIA online course to prepare for the knowledge test. The course provides detailed guidance on all three parts of the exam (written, oral and practical). During this three-month intensive course, you learn which books to buy, which important topics to focus on and which tips & tricks you need for this challenging exam. The lecturers are extremely friendly and understanding. The lectures were so well organized that the online classes were not boring but interesting. I would definitely recommend this course to my colleagues. »

« From my previous experience with the Freiburg International Academy, I have nothing but praise. The well-structured preparation course and the FIA language café, where I had the opportunity to learn a lot from the excellent Dr. Nabeel Farhan, played a big part in me passing the FSP the first time. I will undoubtedly rely on the FIA again when preparing for the knowledge test. »
