Integration courses

The vhs Landkreis Konstanz e.V. provide integration courses for immigrants within the framework of the basics of federal law.

 A general integration course takes 700 taught hours of which 600 are language teaching and 100 hours are an orientation course.

 The language teaching is divided into 6 modules (Levels A1 – B1) and ends with a free final examination. The orientation course provides knowledge of the German legal system, culture and recent history and ends with a test.

 The special integration courses, for example for women, young people, parents as well as immigrants who need help with the alphabet are longer, with 1000 taught hours (900 language teaching and a 100-hour orientation course).

 The Federal Ministry for migration and refugees is responsible for the development of the basics and the educational content of the integration course as well as its implementation.
