The teaching is in a group, 15 hours per week Monday–Wednesday or Wednesday–Friday. In order to take part in the studies, you must be registered in the municipality and lack basic knowledge of Swedish (final diploma from Course D).

SfI studies can be full-time or part-time, and can sometimes also be supplemented with other courses. SfI is adapted to your needs and your individual goals. After completion of the course, the marks E–A are awarded. Our teachers have a first language other than Swedish (Russian, Arabic and Persian), which facilitates study help in your first language.

If you want to study subjects other than Swedish, you can do so in one of the neighbouring municipalities, such as Eksjö, Tranås and Jönköping. Social orientation in Arabic is offered in Aneby, and we collaborate with other municipalities for other languages.
