Beginners who can read and write the German (Latin) alphabet but have no or very little knowledge of German start at course level A1/1 and generally need about five months to reach the integration exam level (A2/2).
Persons who already have some knowledge of the German language can start at a higher level than A1/1 and take the integration exam earlier.
