The Integration Foundation is inviting adult permanent residents who have lived in Estonia for at least five years or who have returned to the country to attend Estonian language courses. Registration will open on 6 January 2026 at 10 a.m. in the self-service environment.
You can study at beginner levels A1 and A2, and at independent user levels B1.1 and B1.2. Participation in these language courses is free of charge and the lessons are conducted in Estonian. Learning opportunities are available at the Estonian Language Houses in Tallinn and Narva, at language schools across Estonia, as well as online. A total of approximately 1 000 study places will be offered.
The first courses start in January, with some groups also starting in February and March. There are morning, afternoon, and evening groups to choose from, and classes take place 2–4 times a week.
Registration for courses opens on 6 January at 10 a.m. in the self-service environment at
https://iseteenindus.integratsioon.ee/login.
Registration will remain open as long as there are places available and closes the day before the course starts.
Some courses are in high demand and places fill up quickly. To ensure a smoother registration process and increase your chances of getting a place, we recommend checking that you meet the following conditions:
- you belong to the target group of the courses (permanent resident or a returnee to Estonia);
- you have not previously participated in a course offered by the Integration Foundation at the same language level (you cannot participate in the same level more than once);
- you have selected the level that corresponds to your language skills (you can use the self-assessment scale if you wish);
- you have an ID card, Mobile-ID, or Smart-ID and passwords for logging in;
- you have selected filters for the service, language proficiency level, and location (online or city) to simplify navigation in the self-service environment.
Important rules for participating in language courses
- After signing up, you will need to attend the course from start to finish and actively participate in both lessons and independent study.
- Learners can cancel their registration in the self-service portal no later than one day before the start of the course.
We will announce the exact date of the next registration for language courses on our website and on social media at the beginning of July.
Our advisors can answer any specifying questions from Monday to Thursday from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. and on Friday from 9 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.
