Norwegian language courses
Learning Norwegian language is important for your daily life in Norway. For some positions it is even mandatory to learn the language and give lectures in Norwegian within three years after your employment starts. It will also help you to understand our culture and to communicate better with your Norwegian colleagues, neighbours, friends and others. A certain level of Norwegian might be required if you are planning on applying to UDI for the permanent residency permit.
