Learn Danish with colleagues. IA Erhverv (IA Business) offers lessons for foreign employees in Danish companies. Lessons take place on location at the place of business during or outside of working hours. Groups are made up of at least seven employees.
Before lessons can begin, IA assesses the students’ level and educational needs. The Danish Language Programme is offered at three different levels:
▪ Danskuddannelse (Danish Language Programme) 1 is for foreigners without schooling – eg. illiterate
▪ Danskuddannelse (Danish Language Programme) 2 is for foreigners with little schooling
▪ Danskuddannelse (Danish Language Programme )3 is for foreigners with a higher level of education / training
Lessons
After the assessment has taken place, IA Erhverv (IA Business) prepares a lesson plan for how the employees are to be taught – eg. which employees may be placed in the same group, and how many different groups are needed in order to make teaching effective. A lesson plan gives the employees a clear goal for learning Danish from start to finish.
The workplace decides when teaching should take place:
During working hours: Danish lessons can take place during working hours. If the programme consists of 6 or more lessons per week, the employer / employee can receive compensation for any. loss of wages (80% of the maximum subsistence). In Denmark, the scheme is called SVU.
Before starting work or after work: The Danish language courses can also take place as an extension of normal working hours
At the end of the workday: The Danish language courses can be placed partly at the end of the workday, partly in free time.
