FAQ

Questions, answered

Which YKI level does this course prepare me for?+
The course targets the middle level (B1–B2), which is the level most people in Finland need for a permanent residence permit, citizenship or certain jobs. The content and tasks match the middle-level YKI format. If you're aiming for the basic level, the material is still highly useful — it goes beyond what's required.
What Finnish level do I need to start?+
The course works best if you already have some Finnish — an integration course, a language app, or a few months of classes. You don't need to be fluent, but you should know basic vocabulary and simple sentence structures. If you're a complete beginner, start with a foundation course first.
How do I pay and get access?+
Leave your name and email on this page. We send you an invoice by email — pay by card in a couple of taps. As soon as payment lands, you get your personal access link. No account sign-up, no subscription, no complicated setup. Works on any phone, laptop or tablet.
How much time do I need each day?+
30 minutes a day is enough to get through the course comfortably. There are no live sessions and no fixed schedule — you open the platform when it suits you. You can go faster or slower. The course is designed so that 4–6 weeks of consistent study is enough to feel fully prepared.
Can I buy just one module and add the rest later?+
Yes. Each module is 25€ and covers a different part of the exam. The Full YKI Pack — all three modules — is 45€, saving you 30€. You can start with one module and upgrade anytime.
