A certificate is not a workplace
B1 on paper helps little when the site manager talks about screed, formwork or reinforcement. Those words rarely appear in a general language course.
The German language course for skilled workers — learn German for work in Germany, A1 to C1.
Craftra Academy is an online German learning platform for international skilled workers: courses from A1 to C1, technical German for trades and healthcare, an AI speech trainer, and exam preparation. Plans from €69 per month, cancel monthly.
- German A1–C1
- Vocabulary for your occupation
- Speaking practice with an AI trainer
- Eight interface languages
Why a language certificate alone is not enough.
Safety rules are assumed, not taught
Fall protection, hazardous substances, the five safety rules: in Germany these apply from the first day. If you do not know them, you put yourself at risk.
You do not learn to speak by filling in gaps
Most courses drill grammar. In the first real conversation, the speaking is still missing.
Classroom courses are expensive and fixed in time
A course on site costs several hundred euros and takes place when you are at work.
Online German courses from A1 to C1 — and technical German for your trade.
The previews show the platform as it looks.
Online German courses from A1 to C1
The full path, split into short lessons. Each one ends with a self-test. You move on when the test is passed.
Technical German for your trade, nursing or driving job
Electrical, plumbing and heating, bricklaying, drywall, roofing, metalwork and more, plus nursing and professional driving. Courses at journeyman level, with the words that are actually used at work.
Safety standards from day one
What the German accident insurance rules require, in plain language and explained in your own language. So you know on day one why a rule exists.
Speak German out loud with the AI speech trainer
A real spoken conversation with an AI trainer, up to five minutes per call. It does not lose patience, and it does not tell anyone how often you repeated a sentence.
Writing with feedback
You write, the AI checks it and explains what was wrong. For a sick note, a short report or an application.
Prepare for your B1/B2 German exam
Exam simulations built from real task banks. You see where the gaps are before the exam counts.
What this platform is, and what it is not.
What it is
An online learning platform run by Craftra, a recruitment agency based in Cologne, Germany. You can use it on your own, at your own pace, in eight interface languages.
What it is not
It is not a visa. It is not a job offer. Finishing a course does not entitle you to either. If anyone promises you a visa in exchange for money, that is a scam, and it is worth reporting.
Craftra places skilled workers with German employers. That placement is free for the worker, because the employer pays. The Academy and the placement are two separate things.
