Applications open for Portuguese Language Courses for Foreigners
Applications for the organisation of Portuguese Courses for Foreigners are open until March 31. Interested entities can submit applications to the Regional Directorate for the Communities until March 31. The Portuguese Language Courses for Foreigners are an initiative promoted by the Regional Government, through the Regional Directorates for the Communities and Educational Administration. They intend to contribute to the full integration of foreign citizens living in the archipelago, through their personal and professional development. Eligible training entities are public, private or cooperative organisations, including public school establishments, local authorities, companies, business associations, unions and other local, regional or national organisations. These courses are aimed at foreign citizens residing in the Autonomous Region of the Azores, aged 18 or over, who can attest that they do not hold Portuguese nationality. They are also required to hold a valid permanent residence permit in Portugal or proof that they are taking the necessary procedures to obtain, renew or extend it. The successful completion of these courses certifies trainees with Portuguese language proficiency skills - A2 level, under the terms of the provisions of the Portuguese Nationality Regulations as well as the legal scheme on the entry and permanence of foreigners. In 2024, the initiative registered five courses attended by 94 trainees from 32 countries. CRESAÇOR - Regional Cooperative of Solidarity Economy, CRL, promoted three courses in São Miguel, AIPA - Association of Immigrants in the Azores organised one course in Terceira and the Horta Municipal Council promoted one course in Faial. Since its inception in 2013, 31 courses have been held, taught by six entities on the islands of Faial, Flores, Pico, São Miguel and Terceira, reaching around 691 trainees from 67 countries. The Portuguese Language Courses for Foreigners are regulated by ordinance no. 49/2012 of April 27, amended and republished by ordinance no. 56/2014 of August 19. For further information, the entities interested in promoting these courses should contact the Regional Directorate for the Communities by telephone on 296 204 700 or email at [email protected]. Alternatively, the information on these courses is also available on the Regional Government Portal, via the link: https://bit.ly/3ZQhXDQ.
