Course allowance

Participants who do not have an educational background can receive a course allowance.

Participants with education can participate for free, but cannot receive course allowance.

Employers / Participants with work

If the course participant has work, Campus Kujalleq will requests the employer to pay the usual salary to the course participant during the course period.

When the course has been completed, the employer will be asked to send an invoice to the school. At the same time, we must inform the employer that deductions can be made from the course allowance if the student has been negligent during the course. If the participant does not receive a salary during the course from the employer, a course allowance can be given.

Majoriaq / Participants without work

Municipalities can act as "employers" for the unemployed participant. Campus Kujalleq will thus pay the course allowance to the municipality. This means that the student does not get the course allowance paid directly from Campus Kujalleq, but from the municipality. Campus Kujalleq and the municipality calculate the amount.

Payment of course reimbursement will be made after a 14-day term.

Self-employed participants

Course allowance for self-employed persons will be paid as B income. It is therefore the student's own responsibility to pay tax on the amount.

Course allowance for self-employed persons will be paid when the person concerned has sent an invoice to Campus Kujalleq.

Course allowance amounts pr. June 2019.

For non-certified/educated from the age 25: 650 DKK. pr. day.

For non-certified/educated from age 18 – 24: 211,50 DKK. pr. day.
