Clavis Reviews

Horrible experience - Clavis is only interested in your money

Just don t waste your time and if you are not on family reunification money They do not care about actually improving your Danish to useful levels and will skimp out on providing proper education Invest in yourself and your Danish by going to other schools that follow European language requirements and will actually provide you with Danish that is useful and understandable for others Or if you re in a pinch spend extra time with Duolingo it s honestly more reliable On a side note their reception has horrible service and will not respond to your e-mails or if they do respond it will be in a passive aggressive manner I have gone back to my previous language center and will continue my education there despite losing out on 3000DKK It was a waste of both my time and money

Avoid this school like you would a coughing passenger during a pandemic on the S-train

Trustpilot decided to delete my previous review Trying again Horrible experience The instructors are disengaged The communication from the staff is poor The school is disorganised It is very clear that they do not care about the students learning Danish and are only interested in your money If you want to become integrated into Danish society by learning Danish that is understandable to Danish people Clavis is not the language school for you

Avoid Clavis and pay to go private

I really wish I had heeded the terrible reviews about this place Once I paid the deposit I heard nothing from these people for weeks and then got a letter in the mail with the time date of a class I couldn t attend I repeatedly emailed them and they never got back to me The pandemic struck so I ignored everything and when I recently returned to Copenhagen I got a paper saying I had been assigned to another class I couldn t make and just like last time my many emails explaining this to them went unanswered I just called to see if they could get me into a class at a time I could actually make and I was lectured to by a preachy women about missing class As for the teachers and the classes I have no idea if any of them are any good as I couldn t get them to listen or work with me to find a class at a time I could attend Anyway I see another woman is complaining to the commune so I ll follow her lead and let them know about my experience as well Our tax dollars and yes I do work and pay taxes here go to these schools as did my deposit which no doubt will not be refunded They should be held accountable

Horrible and rude communication

I was really looking forward to learning Danish but this learning center is awful and after this short and unfortunate experience I m paying to go private The method of teaching is so old fashioned and they stand and mindlessly recite lines from a paper handout with no explanation of the words or meanings to anyone who is completely brand new to learning Danish I guess I m lucky I ve done the Duolingo app The teacher was so unprepared and didn t know the course syllabus how to structure their lessons or have any idea how to navigate through the Clavis e-learning portal They made very discouraging remarks and facial expressions when I made a mistake which will naturally happen as I m learning a new language We were told to go through our handout as homework and fill out the answers in our head because we weren t allowed to practice properly at home This is a really ineffective way of learning and I would struggle to think how anyone passes their modules I ve also tried to get my deposit back after 2 lessons and they refused despite there being no terms and conditions written anywhere saying I cannot have my deposit refunded Instead I have to be transferred to another class I pray it s not worse

Won t give me a refund I am entitled

Horrible communication and rude service After my experience with them as a paying customer I cannot recommend them

Clavis Kbh not recommended for studiepr ven

Won t give me a refund I am entitled to I have to pay for something everyone else gets for free just because I had already paid before the rules changed and made it free for all Plus the class is way too large and you never get to talk

Don t bother with them - they don t refund your money back

Unfortunately I did not know before registering for studiepr ven that there is such a tremendous difference with the schools While fx UCplus Kbh is giving their students the possibility to write studiepr vens skriftlige del 3 on the computer we have to write the 3 hour lasting part of the exam by hand with Clavis Clavis also does not give access to online dictionaries It is completely unacceptable that such an important exam is taking place under such different conditions It is completely unacceptable that Clavis is apparently not capable of organizing the needed ressources in order to give their students optimal chances to pass the test I m of the opinion that students of UCplus clearly have an advantage of passing studiepr ven

I was attending to these lessons for before I gave up

Don t bother - they won t give you your money back I wanted to do studiepr ven earlier this year but as I was on maternity leave and struggling to prepare for the test I asked for it to be delayed which they accepted and I really appreciated Now to the next time for the test November and I can t get the day off work to do the test yet I m being told that they can t reschedulw the test nor give me a refund Waste of so much money for nothing I m so angry and upset
