Who is the service for?
The course is intended for clients who are otherwise ready to enter the workforce but who still require encouragement specifically for using Finnish in working life situations. The course focuses more on practical language use situations than studying grammar, for instance. During the course, the students will read and write a great deal and complete exercises independently, so a language proficiency level of A2.1 is the initial proficiency level required.
