You are welcome to drop by during our office hours to register without an appointment. Please bring proof of your eligibility or obligation to participate in the integration course (Berechtigung or Verpflichtung zur Teilnahme am Integrationskurs), as well as a form of identification.
Alternatively, you can also make an appointment to register:
The general integration course consists of 700 lessons. It is intended to bring participants to CEFR level B1 in German in 600 lessons, and to provide an understanding of the law, culture and history of Germany in 100 lessons. This type of course covers language levels A1, A2 and B1. German is taught through topics related to daily life such as work, home, health or public authorities.
The general integration course is intended for foreigners who live permanently in Germany (especially including asylum seekers with good prospects of staying), for citizens of the EU and for German nationals who do not speak sufficient German.
The 100 lessons devoted to orientation deal with topics such as politics, history and society.
The general integration course ends with two graded final examinations, ‘German test for immigrants’ (DTZ) and ‘Life in Germany’ (LiD).
The integration course is financed by the state from the federal budget. Course participants who are eligible or required to participate in the integration course must pay a contribution of 2,29 € per lesson (this means 229,00 € per module).
Course participants who are entitled or obliged to participate in the integration course can apply for exemption from paying the contribution or are automatically exempt from paying the contribution and can therefore participate in the course free of charge if, for example, they receive Bürgergeld or Grundsicherung, or social assistance.
The integration course is primarily aimed at people who are entitled or obliged to participate in the integration course, for example by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), the Jobcenter, the district employment agency, or the immigration office, but it can also be attended at your own expense as a self-payer.
Once participants have successfully completed the general integration course and the final examinations (the language test ‘German test for immigrants’ and the test ‘Life in Germany’) they receive the ‘Integration Course Certificate’ from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). If participants are unsuccessful, they receive a certificate showing their results in the final examinations.
