Your integration course – fully online

The BRW online integration course takes place fully online – there are no in-person sessions and no blended format. As an evening course, it is ideal if you work during the day or look after your family.

Many participants feel unsure or shy about learning German at first. That is completely normal. In the online course you learn from your familiar surroundings – in a safe setting, at your own pace and with personal support from our teachers.

Your benefits

  • Learn from home – no travel, in familiar surroundings.
  • Evening course: easy to combine with work, family and everyday life.
  • A safe setting – ideal if you feel a little reserved in a new learning environment at first.
  • The same qualifications as in the classroom course: DTZ and “Life in Germany” (LiD).

Mandatory placement test

A placement test is mandatory before taking part in an integration course. Depending on the course type and language level, the appointment takes between 30 minutes and one hour and is held on site before the course starts – this also applies to the online integration course. The placement test can also be taken with another provider.

Costs & funding

Depending on your individual situation, the integration course can be fully or partly funded by the Jobcenter, BAMF, the immigration authority or other public bodies. For partial self-payers, BAMF may cover part of the costs; participation as a full self-payer is also possible. Contact us – we will be happy to advise you.
