Free Swedish Courses: SFI offered at Folkuniversitet

Great news for those searching for free Swedish courses in Stockholm. Folkuniversitet now offers free SFI Swedish classes on their campus.

SFI at Folkuniversitetet

For most newcomers in Stockholm learning Swedish is a top priority. However, this can be difficult if you have a tight schedule or a tight budget. For this reason many people enroll in free Swedish classes through SFI, which is a service offered to foreigners through the Swedish government. SFI courses are held in various locations throughout the city, but for people who prefer to learn in a more academic environment there is some great news. Stockholm’s Folkuniversitet now offers SFI courses! That means you can take advantage of the free SFI service and also learn Swedish on a campus surrounded by Swedes and international students.

Folkuniversitetet offers both SFI and non-SFI language courses as well as upper secondary studies and many other types of courses in the arts. The classes are held in a beautiful building near Odenplan where the learning environment is characterised by an international, open and creative atmosphere and many different languages can be heard in the hallways.

Here you are welcome to meet our experienced and well educated teachers. We help you to achieve your goals based on your experience, abilities and needs. We start where you are. –Brochure for Folkuniversitet

    • Morgan 15 Mar 2012

      Hi Tina,

      Good question. The answer depends on your situation. Do you have a Swedish personal number? If so, you can take SFI. If not, I don’t think you can.

    Hello,
    I just moved to Stockholm a week ago. I am a doctor and need to learn swedish to start working here. I have a personnel number. Is this course suitable for doctors? And how do I register for it. Thanks.

    • Hi
      If you’re going to start learningSswedish from level 1, SFI’s free courses can be very suitable for you.
      You can apply on this website: https://komvux.stockholm.se/open24/public/eduMgmt/Default.aspx
      If you find it a bit difficult to find your way in applying for a course online, another recommendation can be do visit the Komvux offices in person in Hornsgatan 124. They will help you with your application and finding the school and schedule that better suits you.
      There are also advanced courses where you learn a more dedicated Swedish applied to business or medicine, but you should start with building a basic knowledge of the language first.
