More information about pre-vocational education with integrated SFI
The goal with the pre-vocational education with integrated SFI is to learn the Swedish language combined with practical elements and knowledge about the Swedish labour market. Pre-vocational education with integrated SFI is not a vocational education that leads to work. After SFI, you have the opportunity to apply for one of our vocational educations or other courses.We have different orientations to choose from in our pre-vocational education. You choose the orientation that you find most interesting to learn more about. To see what different possibilities there are towards a working life in Sweden makes it easier for you to make your own, well thought out, decisions about your future.
