Enrolling for a language class

• To find the right course, someone from the language centre will schedule a meeting with you. This person will ask questions about which languages you already know, which diplomas you have, why you would like to learn the language, whether you have a lot of time or not much... You will sometimes need to take a test to ascertain your language skills.
• After the interview and the test, the language centre will propose a course.

How much does language courses cost?

Applicants for international protection can have a reduction on the enrolment fee for language courses.

If you are staying in a reception centre, ask your social worker which costs you have to pay before enrolling.

If you are not staying in a reception centre, Fedasil does not pay for your language course. However, you can ask Fedasil for a certificate to ask the school for a reduction in the enrolment fee for language courses. To obtain the certificate, send an email to infopoint_attestations@fedasil.be and attach your annex 26.
