Please ensure that you send two copies of the required documentation, either as certified true copies or original documents and regular copies.

2. Language Test
You need to pass the language test "Prøve i dansk 3" (Danish 3 Exam). The language test is held twice a year in May/June and in November/December, and you can take the exam from various language centers in Denmark. You can take the language test before you send your application and documentation of formal qualifications. However, you must have passed the exam less than 12 months before you apply for registration, unless you can prove that you have stayed continuously in Denmark in the period after you passed the language test.

When we have approved your education, you can commence employment for adaptation and training purposes (evalueringsansættelse).
