Terms and Conditions

The points below apply to all course places unless otherwise specified under the individual language school.

Course literature is included in the price in some cases, but the most common is that you get to borrow books or have to buy them yourself.
Accommodation is available from the day before the course starts to the day after the end of the course.
On the first day of the course, the language school will conduct a test to assess the participants’ prior knowledge. On the basis of this test, the participants are placed in an appropriate teaching group.
The courses are open to everything from beginners to participants with very good prior knowledge.
If you have already studied the language at university level, please note this when registering.
If you choose to live with a family, you will usually be the only one from Norway. If you still want to live with a certain person, this can normally be arranged. If you live in an apartment or other school accommodation, try to mix the nationalities as best as possible.
On all courses you will receive course certificates, in some cases also grades. After the longer courses, it is often possible to take a test for public language diplomas such as Cambridge University Examinations, DELF, Alliance Française, D.E.L.E. and such.
