Free Norwegian language training
Apply for free Norwegian language training at Alfaskolen!
If you are qualified, you can now apply for free Norwegian language training at Alfaskolen! On behalf of the Norwegian Directorate for Integration and Diversity (IMDi), Alfaskolen now offers 80 hours of free Norwegian language training for levels B1-B2.
How do I know if I am qualified?
This offer has limited capacity. Because of this, there are certain requirements you must meet in order to be eligible:
- You have completed A0-A2 level before (meaning you can start at B1 level).
- You have not taken a free course on behalf of IMDi before (ie. this summer)
- You have limited Norwegian skills, with a need to learn more Norwegian, regardless of length of residence in Norway or reason for immigration.
- You have used up your rights to education under the Introduction programme or Immigration act or have no right to such free education (municipal Norwegian language training).
- You have completed upper secondary education as a minimum education level.
- You have not participated and are not participating in Norwegian language training funded by Kompetansepluss.
NB! You cannot participate in several free courses on behalf of IMDi with other private providers at the same time.
