SFI as distance studies
At NTI-skolan you study Swedish for immigrants, SFI, entirely in the form of distance education. You always have your personal teacher from the first day of the course until the grade is set and you study at your own pace, using your computer. How long a course takes depends on how much time you spend on your studies. If you put in lots of time, you can finish quickly!
After your studies
When you have done your SFI-courses you can move on to taking Grundläggande svenska som andraspråk (Basic Swedish as a second language) at NTI-skolan, which grants you access to more adult education and you can study towards a profession, such as childcare worker, assistant nurse, or financial assistant. You can also study any of our more than 280 courses and course packages.
Studying SFI + Basic Swedish + Swedish as a second language (SVA) can help you meet all of the Swedish requirements that you need to study at university or other forms of higher education.
