We offer train-the-trainer courses. We carry out projects both as coordinator and as partner, including projects in European programmes like GRUNDTVIG or LEONARDO.
Furthermore we are an authorised centre for a wide range of examinations, including Cambridge ESOL examinations.

The TVV e.V. is associated with a wide network of institutions in Thuringia, in Germany and across Europe. We work with regional ministries, adult education organisations all over Germany, schools, the Thuringian teacher training school, social partners, publishers, chambers of commerce, political representative, etc.
