Important information about your right to Danish education
You are entitled to Danish education for up to 5 years from the date you receive your referral.
It is your choice whether you want to participate, but the 5-year period is counted from the date of the referral – even if you do not show up at the language center or contact the municipality.
Deposit
Before you begin your classes, you must pay a deposit of DKK 2,000. The deposit can be paid via the website (see link below) or directly at the language center.
👉 If you are staying in Denmark as an au pair, you do not have to pay a deposit.
How to get your deposit refunded
It is your municipality that decides when you can have your deposit refunded. The rules are:
When you pass a module or the final exam within the deadlines, you will receive your deposit back.
Module 1: 6 months
Module 2: 6 months
Module 3: 7 months
Module 4: 8 months
Module 5: 9 months
Module 6: 9 months
If you stop your Danish education (e.g. due to leaving Denmark) without passing a module within the deadline, or if you pass the test after the deadline, you will not get your deposit back.
ℹ️ Please contact your language center to arrange the practical details regarding your refund.
