Have you had an appointment with the Agentur für Arbeit (Jobcenter) or the Ausländerbehörde (Foreigners' Office) and been advised to take a German course? If you didn't receive an official obligation certificate ("Verpflichtungsschein"), then you are in an ideal position. It means you have the freedom to choose the learning path that best fits your life.
First things first: for the authorities, your employer, or your naturalization application, only one thing matters in the end – your official B1 German certificate. How you achieve this goal is entirely up to you..
The Classic Integration Course: Does It Really Work for Everyone?
A traditional integration course ("Integrationskurs") is a proven method for learning German. The fixed system offers a clear structure: five days a week, four hours of classes in a row, in a physical classroom with the same group of people.
However, this rigid model often doesn't fit into a modern lifestyle. Many of our students have faced these exact challenges:
Work Commitments: You work full-time or in shifts and find it impossible to attend a morning class every single day.
Family Obligations: You care for children or relatives and need a flexible schedule.
Individual Learning Style: You learn better at your own pace and want to be able to review difficult lessons without the pressure of a group.
Time and Cost: Daily commutes to a language school not only cost time but also money.
If any of this sounds familiar, you need a modern solution.
The Smart Alternative: Learning German with an Online Video Course
The good news is, there's an alternative that adapts to you. An online video course is the perfect solution for reaching the B1 language level without having to reorganize your entire life.
Imagine learning German whenever and wherever you want:
On the train during your commute to work.
At your desk during your lunch break.
In the evening on your couch when things have finally quieted down.
Our video course was designed by a BAMF-certified instructor and follows the official curriculum of the integration course exactly. You get the same quality and all the relevant content, but with maximum freedom. This is how we prepare you specifically for the official B1 exam.
The Certificate is the Goal – Not the Path You Took
This is the most crucial point: no one will ask you later where you learned German. The B1 certificate is the recognized proof of your German language skills. It is your key to a settlement permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis), citizenship (Einbürgerung), or better opportunities in the job market.
Don't let a rigid system hold you back. If you have the freedom to choose your own path, choose the one that truly works for you.
