Integration Course with Literacy Training
The integration courses with literacy training are aimed at learners with a migration background who are unable to read and write sufficiently, either in their native language or in German.
The participants are supported by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF).
A literacy integration course lasts about 26 months.
The course consists of twelve language course modules (900 + 300 lessons) and an additional orientation course with 100 lessons.

The language part of the course concludes with the “German Test for Immigrants” (DTZ).
The orientation course covers topics such as law, history, and culture in German society.
It concludes with the “Life in Germany” (LiD) test.
