​What is FVU?
​What is FVU?FVU is a Danish course, free of charge, aimed at adults who wish to become better at Danish, mathematics, English or IT.
Many students choose a course in FVU to become better at Danish. If you want to improve your Danish skills, you should read about the subjects FVU Start and FVU Danish. In addition, we offer the courses FVU Mathematics and FVU Digital.
The tests at FVU are called “step tests” (trinprøver). When you have passed a step test, you can enter the next step.
FVU is not for beginners. You must have some knowledge of Danish in advance – this also applies to FVU Mathematics and FVU Digital.
FVU is short for Forberedende VoksenUndervisning (Preparatory education for adults).
You can read more about FVU on the homepage of Børne- og Undervisningsministeriet here.

At FVU Start, the focus is on your spoken language. Once you have completed FVU Start you can continue with the other FVU subjects.

FVU Danish is designed for you who want to improve your writing in Danish. We give you the tools you need to become better at reading and writing. We work on writing, spelling, reading and grammar.
FVU Danish is divided into 4 steps. Step 1 is the lowest and step 4 is the highest. Each step concludes with a written step test (trintest).
You can use step test 4 in FVU Danish to apply for a vocational education. You can also use step test 4 as documentation for your Danish skills if you are applying for Danish citizenship. Step test 4 corresponds to a 9th grade final examination. Step test 2 and 3 you can use if you want to apply for a permanent residence permit.
You can combine FVU with the Danish Language Course. That might be a good idea if you want to become proficient in especially the written disciplines. But FVU is also for you who have completed one of the Danish Language Courses or you who are no longer entitled to the free Danish Language Course.
