Learn German in English through Waff
One of the biggest challenges when we immigrate to Austria is the language. After finding an apartment and a job, the best thing you can do is invest your time in a German course.
And yes, we are talking about investing your time, not your money.
Austria has one of the best social services in Europe, and proof of this is the scholarship they offer you through the Waff to take a German course.
The scholarship works as follows: if you are registered in Vienna (Anmeldung) and you are working, you can make an appointment at the Waff (https://www.waff.at) to apply for the scholarship.
This scholarship pays up to €3,000 for a German course in Vienna if you don’t earn more than 2500€ netto.

At Ikarus we are aware of the importance of German to be able to apply for better paid jobs and with better conditions.
If you want German to find a better job, to integrate better or to be able to live daily life in Vienna without needing your phone.
