We offer free Estonian language courses at level A2 to foreigners who have lived in Estonia for less than five years and acquired a temporary residence permit or primary right of residence under the normal migration procedure*. These courses last for an average of five months (150 academic hours) and take place in Estonian without a base language. To register for training at level A2, you must have completed a level A1 language course of at least 100 academic hours, either as part of the adaptation programme Settle in Estonia, at a language school, at university, or elsewhere**. Registration is open for language courses that will start in January, and take place online, in Tallinn, and in Narva: registration link.
At the end of January, we are going to open additional places of study for courses at levels A1, A2, and B1. Information about new places of study will be published on the social media account of Settle in Estonia and on the website of the Integration Foundation.

* These courses are intended only for individuals who are in Estonia on a regular migration basis, i.e. who have been granted a temporary residence permit or primary right of residence and who have arrived in Estonia for the purpose of study or work, are joining a family member, related business, etc.
We offer separate language courses for all beneficiaries of temporary or international protection. We await all beneficiaries of temporary protection to sign up for Estonian language courses at level A1 (beginner level): registration link.
** If you have completed a level A1 language course not through the adaptation programme Settle in Estonia (e.g. through the Unemployment Insurance Fund), please send your certificate to info@settleinestonia.ee.
