Language courses tailored to needs and goals
In the Canton of Berne, all recognized refugees are supported financially in learning German or French. But even after a language course, many are still not proficient enough to make themselves understood or to find a job. To enable refugees to learn a national language as best as possible, the HEKS/EPER «Deutsch Intensiv – Français Intensif» programme verifies their language skills, learning requirements and professional goals. Together they then determine the best-suited language course, be it a HEKS/EPER course or an outside course. The regular cantonal course offerings are supplemented by tailor-made German courses under the «Deutsch intensiv – Français Intensif» programme.
