In many courses, the teacher is also able to instruct in English or some other language. Please contact the Study guidance for more details concerning the courses and instruction. Important information The length of each lesson is 45 minutes. Lessons are not held on public holidays. You may request a certificate of attendance from the office when the course has ended. Coursebooks Please buy the coursebook just after the first lessons, because receiving coursebooks by foreign publishers can take up to 1-2 weeks if ordered from online bookstores and even up to 5 weeks if ordered from bookstores. Online and hybrid courses Participating in the online courses is easy. You will receive a link by email, and once you click it, you will be guided to join the lesson. In a hybrid course you can choose whether you participate in contact or online teaching. We use Teams, Zoom or Moodle. Tax free employer benefit If you are interested in the possibility to pay for your language course by using a tax free benefit provided by your employer, read more here (in Finnish).
