Integration courses are supported by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.

- WiPDaF (Scientific International Partnerships for German as a foreign language at the Language Centre of Münster University)
An overview of integration courses can be found on:

But perhaps a further-reaching language course with vocational orientation is sensible for you. You will find more detailed information about this in your mother tongue on the pages of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees. The courses with vocation-related linguistic support are offered by the BIMS (Bildungsinstitut Münster e. V.)
In addition, there are specific offers of further training for migrants at the Münster Jobcenter. Inquisitive? Then contact your job coach.
