On Friday, May 30, the Settle in Estonia adaptation program website www.settleinestonia.ee will open registration for Estonian language courses at levels A1, A2, and B1 for recipients of temporary protection. Starting today, it is also possible to register for the mandatory adaptation trainings. Both the courses and the trainings are intended for recipients of temporary protection — refugees who have arrived in Estonia from Ukraine. Participation in all courses is free of charge.
The courses take place in classrooms in Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu, and online. Classes are available at various times — you can choose morning, daytime, or evening sessions.
The next registration opportunity for language courses will be at the end of August.
To register, you must first create an account on the Settle in Estonia website. After creating an account, you can sign up for a suitable course or training here: https://settleinestonia.ee/login
To register for an A2-level course, you must have completed an A1-level Estonian language course. If the A1 course was not completed within the Settle in Estonia adaptation program, a certificate proving completion of the A1-level course is required. Similarly, to register for a B1-level course, the A2-level course must have been completed beforehand. If your previous course was taken through the Settle in Estonia program, no certificate is needed. If you completed an A1-level course (at least 100 academic hours), A2 (150 hours), or B1 (250 hours) elsewhere (e.g. through the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund, a university, or one of the listed language schools: https://bit.ly/keeleamet), please send a copy of the course certificate to: info@settleinestonia.ee
The adaptation training covers the core values of the Estonian state, as well as the rights and obligations of residents. Participation in the adaptation program is mandatory for all recipients of temporary protection. Separate groups are organized in Ukrainian and Russian.
The adaptation program is co-financed by the European Union and the Estonian state budget.
