LIVING IN GERMANY

Learning German

What is an integration course (Integrationskurs) and how can I take part?

Documents for learning German

In integration courses ("Integrationskurse"), you learn the German language and a lot of information worth knowing about Germany. The course is usually made up of a total of 700 lessons (one lesson = 45 minutes).

You may only take part in the course if you have a valid permission to reside (Aufenthaltsgestattung). In addition, you must have ‘good prospects to remain’. This is currently the case for persons with Syrian or Eritrean citizenship.

You may also participate if you entered the country before the 1 August 2019, have permission to reside (Aufenthaltsgestattung) and are registered as seeking employment or training.

In addition, if a positive decision has been made on your asylum application, you can also be obliged to take part in the integration course by the job centre or the immigration authorities
