Participation and fees
For integration courses, the German Residence Law stipulates different participation regulations and costs.
Normally, the course is free for ALG II (unemployment pay type II) beneficiaries. However, an application for exemption from the costs must be submitted to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). Once it is approved, we can confirm your course start date.
In other cases, the course price per student is €1.95 per UE (teaching unit - 45 minutes). Therefore one module costs €195 for 100 teaching units.

When you register for an integration course you also have to take a placement test in order for us to find out which course level is right for you. Upon receiving your approval of course participation from the BAMF, we can confirm the expected start date of your course.
After the enrolment process you are entitled to:
