Ger­man cours­es with certificate

There are many oppor­tu­ni­ties for (new) immi­grants to learn Ger­man in Karl­sruhe. It is impor­tant to know that inte­gra­tion cours­es, voca­tion­al lan­guage cours­es and VwV Ger­man cours­es are cer­ti­fied lan­guage cours­es. This means that par­tic­i­pants can take an exam at the end of these cours­es and receive an offi­cial lan­guage certificate.
