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 learn all of this in our language and integration courses, which we regularly offer on behalf of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF).
A complete integration course consists of one language course and one orientation course. After a placement test, you will begin the language course at the module that best matches your language level (there are six modules in total, covering levels A1.1 to B1.2). 
In the language course, you will learn German through key topics of everyday life (work and employment, housing, health, etc.) and also prepare for the ‘German Test for Immigrants’ (“Deutschtest für Zuwanderer” or DTZ).Then in the orientation course, you will gain important knowledge about Germany. This knowledge is assessed at the end of the course in the ‘Living in Germany’ (“Leben in Deutschland”) test. Once you pass both exams, you will be awarded the Integration Course Certificate  (Zertifikat Integrationskurs).
Integration courses are funded by the BAMF and are free of charge if you have an entitlement or obligation to attend issued by the Jobcenter, BAMF or the immigration authority (Ausländerbehörde). If you are eligible to attend an integration course, you can also apply for reimbursement of the transportation costs. For more information, please visit the BAMF website. If you do not have an entitlement or obligation, you can also choose to participate in the course at your own expense.
We will be glad to provide you individual advice and support. Your contact person at SIT is Ekaterina Tasheva.
