Frequently Asked Questions

Was ist ein Integrationskurs? +

An Integrationskurs is a state-funded German language programme for migrants and refugees. It consists of 600 hours of German language instruction from A1 to B1, followed by a 100-hour orientation course covering German law, history, and everyday life. It ends with the Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer (DTZ) and the Leben in Deutschland test.

Who can attend an Integrationskurs in Berlin? +

EU citizens, refugees with a residence permit, holders of a Niederlassungserlaubnis, and other eligible migrants can attend. You may be entitled or even obligated to participate. Your Ausländerbehörde, Jobcenter, or BAMF office can issue a Berechtigungsschein (referral voucher).

How much does an Integrationskurs cost? +

The standard co-payment is €1.20 per lesson unit. For 600 units this is approximately €720 in total. Recipients of Bürgergeld, Sozialhilfe, or Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz are usually fully exempt from fees.

How long does an Integrationskurs take? +

A standard Integrationskurs runs for 600 language units plus 100 orientation units — 700 hours in total. In a full-time format (4–5 lessons/day) this takes around 6 months. Part-time evening courses can take 12–18 months.

What is the difference between an Integrationskurs and a Berufssprachkurs? +

An Integrationskurs takes you from beginner level to B1 and covers general German plus civic orientation. A Berufssprachkurs (BSK) starts from B1 and focuses on professional and workplace German. Many participants do both in sequence.

What certificate do I get after an Integrationskurs? +

You sit the Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer (DTZ) which certifies A2 or B1 level, and the Leben in Deutschland (LiD) orientation test. Passing both earns you a Integrationskursabschluss, which is required for certain residence permits and citizenship applications.

Can I do an Integrationskurs online? +

Yes — some BAMF-approved schools in Berlin offer Integrationskurse as live online courses via Zoom or similar platforms. This is especially useful if you cannot attend in person due to work or childcare commitments.

What is an Alphabetisierungskurs? +

An Alphabetisierungskurs is a special integration course for participants who cannot yet read or write in Latin script. It runs up to 1,000 hours and focuses on literacy alongside language acquisition. It is also BAMF-funded.
