Hvilan SFI – part of Tora Vega Folkhögskola

The Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) course is offered to newcomers to Sweden with a residence permit. The goal is for you to have basic knowledge of Swedish upon completing the course. The instruction consists of 15 hours every week. Depending on your home municipality, you can choose to study remotely, during the day, or in the evening. You will also learn about how Sweden works, such as: how Swedish democracy functions and whether you can receive parental benefits. After completing each course, you will receive a grade.

Language

On the Swedish National Agency for Education’s website, you can read more about what the course contains in your native language.
