Berufssprachkurs Berlin — Job-Related German Courses

Q: What is a Berufssprachkurs (BSK)?

A Berufssprachkurs is a state-funded job-related German course under the DeuFöV programme (§45a). It builds on general German — usually starting at B1 — and teaches the professional and workplace language needed for the job market, up to B2, C1, or C2. Many people take it right after their Integrationskurs.

Q: Who can attend a Berufssprachkurs and who pays?

Berufssprachkurse are funded by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). Jobseekers registered with the Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter, and many employed people, can attend free of charge with a referral (Berechtigung). Employed participants not referred by an agency pay a co-payment of around €2.42 per lesson unit; employers can also cover the cost.

Q: What levels do Berufssprachkurse cover?

There are base modules that take you one level higher — B1→B2, B2→C1, and C1→C2 — plus special modules for specific professions, such as B2 for the medical field (Heilberufe), B1 for those who didn't reach it in the Integrationskurs, and courses tailored to early-childhood education (Frühpädagogik).

Q: What is the difference between an Integrationskurs and a Berufssprachkurs?

An Integrationskurs takes you from beginner to B1 and covers general German plus civic orientation. A Berufssprachkurs starts from B1 and focuses on professional and workplace German up to B2/C1/C2. The Integrationskurs is the foundation; the Berufssprachkurs builds your career-ready German on top of it.
