From 15 October, the Settle in Estonia adaptation programme, organised by the Integration Foundation, will begin sending out direct notifications. Going forward, people in the target group of the programme will receive personalised notifications by email when new Estonian language or adaptation training courses suitable for them become available for registration.
Settle in Estonia offers free Estonian language lessons at A1, A2, and B1 levels to foreign nationals who have arrived in Estonia, as well as adaptation training that provides practical knowledge and skills for everyday life in Estonia. The adaptation training covers topics such as Estonian society and culture, education, employment, healthcare, and other topics relevant to living in Estonia.
The purpose of direct notifications is to make it easier to find suitable adaptation training and Estonian language courses, and to help programme participants stay informed about new training opportunities in a timely manner.
Notifications are sent out on Thursdays. The email provides an overview of the Estonian language courses and adaptation training courses that became available for registration during the previous week and are intended for the recipient based on their legal basis for residing in Estonia. If no new suitable training opportunities were opened for registration the previous week, the person will not receive an email that week.
You will receive one email notification when registration opens for each new training group. If there are still places available on a course several weeks after registration has opened, no further notifications will be sent regarding that course.
The email will include a selection of new training opportunities suitable for the recipient, along with key details such as the course title, dates, language, and location. Users can view a full list of suitable training courses that are open for registration on their Settle in Estonia profile.
The number of places on training courses is limited, and on their Settle in Estonia profile, users can see which courses still have places available.
Settle in Estonia is an adaptation programme that provides support to foreign nationals who have arrived in Estonia, helping them settle in more smoothly. The programme consists of various courses which provide an overview of life in Estonia, support in everyday matters, and provide an opportunity to learn Estonian. The training courses also give participants the opportunity to meet other people who have arrived in Estonia, share experiences, and make new contacts.
The adaptation programme is free of charge for all participants.
The adaptation programme is co-funded by the European Union and the state budget.
