data-end=\"175\">Germanica Educational Institute Ltd.<\/strong> has grown from humble beginnings into a well-established educational institution.<\/p><p data-start=\"239\" data-end=\"493\">The educational institute originated from a small translation agency near Vienna's Westbahnhof, specialising in translations from Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian and serving primarily the needs of immigrants.<\/p><p data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"766\">Based on these experiences, the company's founder, Mirko Vrdoljak, became convinced that translations alone were not enough to help people. For successful integration and everyday life in Austria, learning German was essential.<\/p><p data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"1028\">As a result, Germanica Educational Institute Ltd. launched its first German courses in 1999. Shortly afterwards, the first computer courses followed, as entering the job market without basic ICT skills was considerably more difficult.<\/p><p data-start=\"1030\" data-end=\"1473\">Today, Germanica is an educational institution offering German courses at all proficiency levels from <strong data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1129\">A1 to C2<\/strong> as well as job-related language courses. Germanica is certified by the <strong data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1235\">Austrian Integration Fund (\u00d6IF)<\/strong> and by the <strong data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1291\">Austrian German Language Diploma (\u00d6SD)<\/strong> certified and works closely with the <strong data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1336\">MA 35<\/strong>, the <strong data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1351\">MA 17<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1368\">vidaflex<\/strong> , is an official cooperation partner of the <strong data-start=\"1419\" data-end=\"1426\">AMS (Austrian Public Employment Service)<\/strong> as well as a recognised education provider of the <strong data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1472\">Vienna Employment Promotion Fund (waff)<\/strong>.<\/p><p data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1662\">We are continuously working on our further development and on improving our current areas of activity. At the same time, we aim to expand our range of educational programmes.<\/p><p data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1893\">Together with our external cooperation partners and our participants, we identify which educational programmes are needed to establish a successful footing in the Austrian education system and on the labour market.<\/p><p data-start=\"1895\" data-end=\"2418\">We believe that everyone, regardless of their background, age, gender or any other personal characteristics, should have equal access to education and be able to participate actively in society without barriers. Language should not be an obstacle or limit people's personal development and quality of life. We create professional and social opportunities for our participants and support them in obtaining their certificates.<\/p><p data-start=\"2420\" data-end=\"2633\">Germanica Educational Institute places great importance on treating everyone with openness and tolerance, as well as ensuring equal opportunities for all, regardless of their background, gender or other personal characteristics.<\/p><p data-start=\"2635\" data-end=\"2965\">Furthermore, we attach great importance to promoting and supporting our trainers. We offer professional development opportunities to continuously maintain and further improve the quality of our teaching.
