SFI teaches Swedish to immigrants. SFI also teaches things that can be useful to know about Swedish society.
Before you start, the school will test your knowledge of Swedish.
The length of study varies. It depends on how much Swedish you already know, and how much you learn while studying. You can start at any time.
When you have finished a course, you will receive a grade which indicates your proficiency. You receive either a pass or a pass with distinction. If you don’t pass, you will receive a certificate which states how much you do know.
After attending SFI it will be easier to find employment. Other options are municipal adult education or attending a folk high-school.

Attending SFI is free of charge. The government pays for your studies. Books can be borrowed, but you may still need to pay for writing material.
As a newly arrived refugee you may attend SFI while receiving introductory benefits. Please contact your social welfare officer for more information.
If you receive other state benefits or jobseeker’s allowance you must speak to social services before attending SFI.
Like all people enrolled in adult education, SFI students can have lunch at Hultsfred Upper Secondary School at a reduced rate.
