As part of the Settle in Estonia adaptation program, free Estonian language courses for beneficiaries of international protection will begin in November and December at levels A1, A2, and B1. In addition, we invite you to adaptation trainings that introduce Estonian society and everyday life.
In total, 600 study places are available for the November courses at A1, A2, and B1 levels. The largest number — 320 spots — is offered for beginners at the A1 level. 100 people can register for A2-level courses, and 80 people for B1-level courses. The courses will start in November and early December and will be held in person in Tartu, Narva, and Jõhvi, as well as online across Estonia.
You can explore the available courses and register for a suitable language course on the website: https://www.settleinestonia.ee/login. Registration is open until all available spots are filled.
It is important to note that completing Estonian language courses at A1, A2, and B1 levels, as well as adaptation trainings, is mandatory for recipients of international protection.
