Integration & language

As a rule, the German language is a prerequisite for taking up employment, training or studying. It is also of crucial importance for successful integration into everyday life.

Integration courses consist of a language course and an orientation course, which may be completed with an internationally recognised certificate. These courses cover topics relating to everyday life, work, health, leisure, German culture and politics.

Find integration courses in your neighbourhood.

Vocational language courses increase employment opportunities on the labour market. In order to participate, you must have successfully completed an integration course or alternatively provide proof of a language level of at least B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
