An integration course (Integrationskurs) helps you confidently navigate everyday and working life in Germany. You learn the German language and simultaneously gain insights into the culture, history, and social norms. Many participants take these courses as an important first step to get settled in their new country faster. The immigration authority responsible for you decides whether you must attend an integration course or if you have the option to attend. It will also provide you with a list of language schools. Then, you can look up a language school near you and enroll at it.
