Some courses are free, whereas others have a course participation fee. It is possible to apply for financial support for business-related adult/continuing education.
The Danish language courses for newly arrived adult foreign nationals are offered at language centres located nationwide. Here, instruction in Danish language and culture is provided to help recently arrived foreign nationals operate in Danish workplaces and society.
The Danish language courses are divided into three courses that are designed to match the participants' level of education.
The three Danish language courses are divided into six modules and can be completed with a Danish language exam.
Furthermore, newly arrived labour migrants can attend a language course specifically tailored labour migrants (Intro-Danish). Intro-Danish consists of five modules each comprising 50 hours of tuition.
For further information on Danish language tuition for newly arrived adult foreigners, please contact your local municipality.
