Further information

Skill level at the beginning of the course

You must have skill level B1 when you join the course. If your skill level is lower than this, it is recommended that you complete the refresher studies in Swedish before the Social Contacts in Working Life course, e.g. by completing the Svensk klinik Rautalanka Swedish course. If you have learning challenges, it is especially important that you participate in the lessons. If necessary, contact a special needs teacher or ask for remedial teaching.

Attending classes

Continuous demonstration, i.e. participation in lessons, is part of the course assessment, and the teacher keeps a diary of participation. Participation in the first session is mandatory, in which case the teacher will give instructions on how to work on the course. The teacher does not record all lessons, as most of the lessons are oral and written exercises in small groups.
