For Microsoft employees who moved to Denmark within the last 5 years and are entitled to Danish Education under the Danish Education Legislation, the classes are free of charge. However, there is a deposit requirement of 2,000 DKK per person. CLAVIS will handle the receipt and refund of the deposit. To get the deposit reimbursed, participants must complete the modules with a test. If a module is not completed, the deposit will NOT be reimbursed. More information can be found here.
For employees no longer entitled to Danish Education under the Danish Education Legislation, Microsoft will cover the cost of the classes, and no deposit is required.
There is a possibility that spouses/partners can join the classes with the same rules as Microsoft employees, but only if there are spots available. Microsoft employees will be prioritized.
You must sign-up your partner by the form below. In case of acceptance, it is not guaranteed that your partner/spouse will be in the same group as you, as it depends on the language level.
