In the test preparation courses, you will review all the necessary grammar base, learn several hundred new words and expressions, work through dozens of exercises and write several essays on popular topics.
There will also be preparation specifically for the test tasks: puhuminen, kirjoittaminen, kuuluminen, lukeminen. We will read texts and answer questions, write letters to friends and support requests, listen to dialogues and answer questions, talk on a timer on various topics.
The courses will be useful not only for those who are going to take a language exam, but also for everyone who wants to repeat A2-B1 material on grammar, vocabulary and activate vocabulary.

Course groups vary by level.
A0-A1 — a group to prepare for the perustaso exam. This exam is sometimes taken to enter courses or college. But rarely.
A1.2-A1.3 - a preparatory course for the keskitaso exam. In order to pass the test, you need level B1. Therefore, this group will study "for growth". You will prepare for the test using a simpler program, but you will repeat all the basics, and you will not suffer that you do not understand the teacher. The exam will still be a lottery, but you will be more confident and prepared! Usually this is a long course, six months for preparation.
A2-B1 – the basic course. We start from level A2, take vocabulary A2-B1, purposefully prepare for test tasks. From 1 to 4 months.
B1-B2 – advanced preparation course for keskitaso. You already have a good level of language, perhaps you need not threes, but fours for the exam. This group is almost entirely in Finnish.
B2-C1 — a preparation group for Ylin taso, an exam for the highest level of knowledge of Finnish. May be needed, for example, to enter a university or to work in government agencies.
