If you are more than 18 years old and have a permission to stay in Denmark, you most likely will have the possibility to participate in a free Danish course under the Danish Language Programme. The course can run for up to three years.
The municipality has the obligation to inform you
Your municipality is responsible for informing you about the Danish Language Programme. In general all foreign citizens with a Danish cpr number, no matter from which country, are entitled to a three years Danish course free of charge. But there are exceptions: If you stay in Denmark for a shorter period of time, e.g. working as au pair, you’ll be offered only the basic levels. The Danish courses are usually held by a local Danish language school, a so called “language centre”, in Danish: Sprogcenter. Normally you can choose between several schools or language centres, if you live in one of the major cities.
The Danish Language Programme
The Danish Language Programme is divided into 3 tracks: Danish Level 1, Danish Level 2 and Danish Level 3. Which track you will be offered to attend depends on your educational background.
Contact your municipality for more specific information about your individual rights to the free Danish course, or book an appointment with one of our school counselors here.
