On the mountain. (usc) If each of the course participants had spoken in their native language at the graduation ceremony of the ISE integration course, there would have been a Babylonian confusion of languages. But 21 men and women showed that they can communicate quite well with each other in German. ISE Education Officer Peter Blendowski was full of praise for the predominantly very good results in the language test.
On the mountain. (usc) There are real linguistic talents among the refugees from Syria and Iraq. This was evident in the most recent integration courses with literacy. They lasted over a year. The courses were once again organized by the ISE language and vocational training center in Amberg for the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.
On the mountain. (usc) “We must not waste time unnecessarily in integrating refugees.” The head of the Amberg-Sulzbach job center, Sonja Schleicher, emphasized this during a visit to the ISE education center. A two-month bridging measure was run there to impart basic knowledge of German to predominantly young refugees.

“Learning Place Town Hall” offered an interesting program – “The World in the Classroom”
“We have the world in the classroom,” says the contact person for language courses at the ISE Language and Vocational Training Center and lecturer Gabriele Stucke. Twenty participants from twelve nations are attending their current integration course, which includes a total of 660 hours and focuses particularly on learning the German language.

This is what the ISE integration courses have stood for for 21 years.
The first “German language course” started in the Rotkreuzhaus in Amberg in 1989. Over time, the ISE has accompanied more than 8,000 new citizens from many countries around the world on their first steps in Germany.
Before the introduction of the Immigration Act in 2005, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) used a strict approval process to select qualified educational providers to run integration courses. ISE’s application was successful – and its work still is. The 28th course started in January.
