If you now live in Germany and you truly want to settle in, then you should learn German! Learning German will be useful for meeting new people, filling out forms, supporting your children with schoolwork, finding a job and much more. You could also benefit from learning some key facts about Germany’s history, culture, and legal system. You will be able to achieve all of this in our integration courses, which we regularly offer on behalf of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF).

An integration course is a language course consisting of six modules (a total of 600 teaching units) and an orientation course (100 teaching units). Each teaching unit is 45 minutes. Through practical topics related to everyday life (work and career, housing, health, etc.), you will learn German and prepare for the German Test for Immigrants (DTZ). In the subsequent orientation course, you will also acquire important knowledge about Germany, which will be tested at the end of the course in the "Life in Germany" (“Leben in Deutschland”) exam. Once you pass both exams, you will be awarded the integration course certificate (Zertifikat Integrationskurs).

Participation Requirements

To participate in an integration course, you will need a qualification certificate (Berechtigungsschein), an approval for admission or an obligation to participate from the Jobcenter, the Immigration Authority (Ausländerbehörde) or the BAMF.

Participation in the course is generally free of charge, and you can apply for reimbursement of the transportation costs too. For more information, please visit the BAMF website.

We will be glad to provide you individual advice and support. Your contact person at SIT is Ekaterina Tasheva.
