Do I have a right to receive training in Norwegian while living in a reception centre?


All reception centre residents over 18 years of age are obligated to take part in training in the Norwegian language and social studies. The programme consists of 175 hours of Norwegian-language training and 25 hours of social studies. Instruction is free of cost. The reception centre cooperates with the municipality to ensure that everyone can take part and to arrange transport to the place of instruction.
