Adapt to life in Estonia!

This information is intended for those of you who have fled the war in Ukraine and have received temporary protection status here in Estonia. Moving from one country to another is always a challenge, and even more so in these difficult circumstances. On our part, Estonian University of Life Sciences would like to support you the best we can, and that’s why we want to relay the following message.

To assist you with adapting to life in Estonia, the Estonian Ministry of Culture has commissioned a COMPULSORY ONE-DAY ADAPTATION COURSE specifically for people with temporary protection status. The course gives essential information about Estonian state and society, state provided services and benefits, rights and obligations attached to temporary protection status, and a number of other topics. During the course, answers to specific and practical questions concerning adaptation in Estonia are also provided.

The course is FREE OF CHARGE.

Please use the link below to register for adaptation course. In the process of registration you will be able to choose between courses in a face-to-face or online format, courses are also available in either Ukrainian or Russian language.

Completion of the course will be taken into account in the process of extending the temporary protection status.

Please note that in longer term, you are also required to complete a 3-months A1 level Estonian language course. Similarly to adaptation course, these language courses are provided to temporary protection status holders free of charge. You will receive a notice regarding language course via Estonian Police and Border Guard Board.
