Training courses on the Constitution and the Citizenship Act

Target group

From September to December of this year, we are offering places in the training course on the Constitution and Citizenship Act of the Republic of Estonia to at least 100 members of the target group. We primarily invite students of our language learning contract programme to participate in the training, but if there are places available, the training is open to all others who are not members of the programme and who do not have Estonian citizenship but wish to apply for it.

Description of the training course

The course consists of 18 academic hours of learning. The trainings take place over two days over one weekend. The trainings will be held face to face in Tallinn and Narva and online all over Estonia. The course takes place in Estonian, so you need to be proficient in Estonian at least at the level A2. The size of each training group is 12–20 students. The course can only be taken once.

Certificates

A higher-level certificate is issued to those who attended at least 14 academic hours and passed the mock exam.

A lower-level certificate is issued to those who attended 9–14 academic hours and/or did not pass the mock exam.

No certificate will be issued to participants who attended less than 9 academic hours.
