Slovene courses for immigrants
If you have moved to Slovenia and want to learn Slovenian, you have the following options:
- Slovenian language courses under the public administration programme “Slovenian as a second and foreign language” (group or individual paid courses)
- preparation for the Slovenian language examination at the basic level (group or individual paid courses).
Initial integration of immigrants
The free programme Initial integration of immigrants is a single programme for learning the Slovenian language and learning about Slovenian history, culture and constitutional order. It is intended for third-country nationals who have received a certificate of eligibility for participation in a Slovenian language learning programme or a certificate of eligibility for participation in a single programme issued by the competent administrative unit.
The programme is open to immigrants who have a permanent or temporary residence permit in Slovenia or are in the process of obtaining a permit and come from a country that is not a member of the European Union.
The programmes take place in Slovenj Gradec and Ravne na Koroškem three times a week, mostly in the afternoon, from 16.30 to 20.00. On successful completion of the programme, you will receive a publicly valid certificate.
If you attend the programme for at least 80% of the time, you are entitled to a free first language test at the basic level after completing the programme.
Participation in the programme is not a condition for taking the Slovenian language exam.
The programme is co-financed by the European Union from the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund.
