The course price is EUR 150. We will post the course invoice to your home address after the first six weeks. Unemployed Helsinki residents and full-time students get a 50% discount of the course price by showing a valid TE-centre card, a student card, or a proof of study place from your school.
Deliver the proof for discount to the Helsinki Upper Secondary School for Adults' student office. We cannot give you the discount in retrospect.
Adult students are not entitled to student discount on public transport fares or for Kela's financial aid for students. People in the integration program may however apply for Kela's integration aid ('kotoutumistuki') for courses with total work hours of 22 hours.
Contact the TE-office before the beginning of the Finnish course. Learn more about the integration aid ('kotoutumistuki') at the TE-office, Kela and on InfoFinland webpage(Link leads to external service).
