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.
