The “Vocational German language promotion” basic course modules are aimed at immigrants who are able to demonstrate the required previous language skills and who are also registered as looking for a training post, looking for work, or registered as unemployed. Course participation is reserved for those who are (part-) sponsored by the BAMF. Direct payers cannot participate in this specific course.
The course focuses on grammatical skills, spoken and written workplace communication, vocation-specific vocabulary and additional language skills for the everyday situation at work. Two distinct modules are available: The basic module B2 is aimed at participants who have already completed level B1. It consists of 400 teaching units (courses starting in 2019: 500 teaching units). The basic module C1 is aimed at participants who have already completed level B2. It consists of 300 teaching units (courses starting in 2019: 400 teaching units). Each of these modules is concluded with an official German exam.
Classes take place Mondays to Fridays, with 4 to 5 teaching units daily.
