Vocational Swedish

On our Vocational Swedish course you learn the Swedish you need to work in your chosen profession, or to allow you to go on to further studies in Sweden. Vocational Swedish is for people who have either not worked at all, or only worked a little in Sweden. Parts of the course can be carried out at a workplace alternated with theory lessons at Eductus.

About Vocational Swedish 

Theory combined with practical experience
For example, you could spend time at a workplace to practice talking with Swedish colleagues and learn how the workplace functions. Theory lessons and lectures take place at Eductus. The theory is focused on the employment market and vocational Swedish.

Individual study plan
To achieve your goal as soon as possible, you and your teacher at Eductus start by drawing up an individual study plan together. The course can be carried out either full- or part-time. It lasts for about 10 weeks but may be shorter or longer.

Combine with vocational training
If you want to supplement your Vocational Swedish with vocational training, you can also do this with us. We offer basic courses in a number of different sectors, e.g. industry, warehousing/transport, service/retail and healthcare/schools/social care. You can also combine your course with an introductory job (instegsjobb) or SFI.

What does Vocational Swedish lead to?
