How to join
Joining an integration course, step by step
Check if you can take part
With your residence permit, the immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) tells you whether you are entitled or obliged to attend. A Jobcenter can also ask you to attend.
Get your confirmation
You receive a certificate of entitlement. If you are not entitled, you can apply to the BAMF for admission to a course.
Choose a course provider
Integration courses run at course providers approved by the BAMF. Pick one near you, or one that suits your schedule.
Take the placement test
The provider checks your German first, so you start in the right part of the course and move on towards B1.
