Courses through jobcenter
Education is for everyone in Denmark
The Jobcenter can allow you to take a course or education if they believe it will improve your chances of getting a job. There are special rules for people under 30, so it is a good idea to talk to your Jobcenter advisor about your options.
Who can apply for courses through the Jobcenter?
You may be eligible if you:
- Have already used your 6 weeks of "job-directed training" or are not entitled to it.
- Have a higher education (meaning you cannot get courses via the A-kasse).
- Are receiving kontanthjælp (social security).
- Are in job training or rehabilitation.
How courses are approved
- The Regional List: Usually, courses must be on the Regional Positive List for Greater Copenhagen (Hovedstaden).
- Job Guarantee: If a course is not on the list, the Jobcenter may still approve it if an employer writes a letter promising to hire you once you finish the course.
- Danish Providers: Only courses from providers registered in Denmark can be approved.
How to register
- Talk to the Jobcenter: You cannot sign up yourself. The Jobcenter must order the spot for you.
- Wait for the Invitation: Once the Jobcenter orders the course, you will receive an invitation in your e-Boks at least one week before the start date.
- Benefits: You will continue to receive your current benefits while attending the course.
Travel Allowance (Kørselsgodtgørelse)
If you travel more than 24 km per day (total) to reach the course, you can apply for travel money.
- The form: Pick up an application at our reception in Hillerød or print it.
- Approval: On the last day of the course, our reception must sign the form to confirm you were there.
- Submission: Send the signed form to your Jobcenter (not the A-kasse).
- Deadline: You must apply within 4 months of finishing the course.
