Many people think the state course (VHS) is always free or mandatory. That is often not true!
💡 1. Eligibility ≠ Obligation (Important!)
Do you only have an "Eligibility" (Berechtigung)? Then you can go to the VHS, but you don't have to! It is only mandatory if you have a written "Obligation" (Verpflichtung), usually from the Jobcenter or Ausländerbehörde.
If you are not obligated, you are free to decide where you learn – including flexibly and quickly with us.
💰 2. The Cost Trap (V-IZ is cheaper!)
If you work and earn money, you often have to pay a "co-payment" for the integration course (currently €2.29 per hour).
- Cost VHS: One module costs you €229. For the complete A1 level (2 modules), you pay €458! Plus travel costs, and often you have to buy the book yourself.
- Cost V-IZ: With us, you pay a one-time fee of only €79,99 per Modul. We gift you the book (Original Schritte Plus Neu) and we ship it directly to you.
- Your Benefit: You save over €300 and learn comfortably from home.
