How do you register for Danish language lessons?
Before you can start at Haderslev Sprogcenter, we invite you to attend a consultation. A consultation is a conversation in which we find out which Danish course and which module you should start with.
Our consultant will talk to you about your educational background, your work situation and your plans for your life in Denmark. You will also take a language test.
If you have attended another language school, you are welcome to bring your module test papers to the consultation. After attending the consultation, you will receive a text message and an email informing you when you can start school.
We conduct consultations every week – both during the day and in the evening. Generally speaking, you can start between 1 and 2 weeks after your consultation session.
