If you pass the Danish 2 Examination, an examination equivalent to the Danish 2 Examination or a higher-level examination in Danish,* you are eligible for a supplementary benefit to the integration benefit based on proficiency in Danish of up to DKK 1517 per month.
Note, however, that your integration benefit including the supplementary benefit to the integration benefit based on proficiency in Danish may not exceed what you would be entitled to if you were eligible for the Danish student grant or social security (cash benefit).
*An equivalent higher-level examination in Danish could be passing the final exam in Danish in grades 9 or 10 of primary and lower-secondary school (Folkeskole) with an average grade of 6 (on the former 13-point grading scale) or 02 on the 7-point grading scale (grades received for neatness do not count).
You can also take the courses at VUC Lyngby (an adult education centre).
Go to VUC Lyngby
Higher-level examinations in Danish that also qualify include a final examination from a general (STX), commercial (HHX) or technical (HTX) upper-secondary school, Higher Preparatory Examination (HF) or a higher-level degree.
You must apply for the supplementary benefit to the integration benefit based on proficiency in Danish via the digital self-service system used to apply for social security (cash benefit). See the link below on this page.
Apply for social security
You must attach your examination certificate that qualifies you to receive the supplementary benefit to the integration benefit based on proficiency in Danish.
If you have specific reasons that prevent you from participating in the standard Danish course programme or from taking the Danish 2 Examination, dispensation may be granted. The Job Centre will decide whether a dispensation can be granted. If you receive the dispensation, you will get the supplementary benefit to the integration benefit based on proficiency in Danish.
