Fill exam supervision and cover teaching without a phone list.
Post an exam or a course once. Verified examiners and teachers apply, you decide — with every application, message and date in one place.
What you get
One inbox for every application
Applications for exams and courses land in the same list, with the date, the office and the cover letter preview. Accept or decline straight from the row. Accepting means you settle directly with that person — we do not sit between you and the payment.
Sort out the details in place
Every application carries its own message thread. Travel, group size, paperwork — settled where the application already is, not in an email folder. Attachments such as licence copies or assessment sheets can go with it.
Post exams and courses
Exams as a single date, cover teaching as a date range with a weekly schedule and teaching units. Pay per unit, per hour or as a total. On site or online — online postings appear without a location and reach teachers anywhere in Germany. Scoped per office, so each of your locations only sees its own postings.
Keep the dates in view
Every exam and cover assignment in one calendar, filled and still open — so you see early where next week is still short a person.
Read a candidate before you commit
Each profile shows qualifications and reviews from earlier assignments, written by schools that worked with that person. "Reviewed" means we have checked the certificates they submitted.
Applications reach your phone — not just when you're back at your desk.
With the app for iPhone and Android, new applications arrive as a push notification. Check profiles and certificates, chat with applicants and accept or decline on the go.

Common questions
Anything else? Write to us.
What does this cost our school?
It is currently free for language schools.
What does "Reviewed" mean on a profile?
That person uploaded evidence of their qualifications and we reviewed it. It is not a background check and does not replace your own judgement.
Does payment go through Sprachschulwerk?
No. When you accept an application you agree terms and pay that person directly. We connect you; we do not handle the money. You can state your payment terms in the notes of the listing (for example "invoice after the exam, paid within 14 days") so applicants know them up front.
Who decides whether a teacher works freelance?
You, the school. Since the Federal Social Court's "Herrenberg" ruling (2022), teachers at language schools are often classed as employees; a transitional rule (§ 127 SGB IV) applies until the end of 2026. A status determination procedure with the Deutsche Rentenversicherung settles the status bindingly. Sprachschulwerk is not part of the assignment.
What applies to paid courses we offer learners?
Learners contract with you directly — Sprachschulwerk only passes the inquiry on. State prices as final prices and inform learners about any right of withdrawal. For online courses sold to consumers, check whether you need approval under the German Distance Learning Protection Act (ZFU): without a required approval the contract is void. If in doubt, get legal advice.
Can learners find our exam dates?
Yes, once you make an exam public. Learners search Google for DTZ, DTB and other German exam dates and land on our exam pages. Public exams appear there with date, price and registration deadline, and interested learners send you an inquiry directly. Registration and payment go directly through your school.
Our ad shows on your site as "External" — why?
We also show teachers public ads in which language schools and adult-education centres look for teachers on their own websites, and jobs from the Federal Employment Agency’s job board. We summarise them in our own words, without contact persons, and link to your page, where teachers apply. If you would rather post the course with us directly, we replace the external entry with your listing; if it should disappear, a message to [email protected] is enough.
We have several locations — is that supported?
Yes. Postings belong to one office, and you can invite an office manager per location who only sees that location.
Can we post online courses and exams?
Yes. When posting you choose "On site" or "Online". Online postings are shown without a location and appear to teachers anywhere in Germany under "Online" — not only within range of your office. You still pick an office; it governs who can see and manage the posting rather than acting as a location.
Is there an app for schools?
Yes. The iPhone and Android app tells you about new applications by push, lets you check profiles and certificates, accept or decline, and message applicants. You can post exams, courses and cover requests there too. You sign in with the same account as on the website.
