SFI and civic orientation

SFI (Swedish for immigrants)

SFI (svenska för invandrare in Swedish) is an education for adult immigrants who wish to acquire basic skills in the Swedish language and about Swedish everyday-, society- and worklife.

To start studying SFI you need to apply to Campus Futura. This is for those who do not take part in the establishment program.

It you have been granted residence permit as a refugee or due to subsidiary protection or as somebody’s relative, and due to this belong to the establishment program, all planning will be done together with your administrator at Arbetsförmedlingen. You can get help with applying and registration to SFI at the refugees reception centre at the municipality (Flykting- och integrationsenheten).
