Exam costs
Braials does not administer exams. You pay for the exam separately to DUO. These are the amounts as DUO lists them (checked on 31 October 2026):
| Exam | Cost |
|---|---|
| Civic integration exam (Civic Integration Act 2021) | €50 per part, €250 for all five |
| NT2 State Exam, Programme I or II | €50 per part, €200 for all four |
| Civic integration exam abroad | €50 per exam, €150 for all three |
Asylum permit holders who integrate under the 2021 Act do not pay for the first 2 attempts of each civic integration exam.

Up front
No. People who have to integrate can sometimes borrow money from DUO for a civic integration course, but only for a course at an approved school. Braials is not an approved civic integration school. If you want to pay for your course with a DUO loan, Braials is not the right choice.
Paying yourself, or is your employer paying? Then you can simply take lessons at Braials.
