Passing the exam demonstrates that you can understand, speak, read, and write Danish at an advanced level.
You are expected to communicate independently in both everyday and professional contexts, and to reflect on aspects of Danish society such as democracy, the welfare system, pensions, and the differences between the public and private sector.
How long does it take to reach PD3?
Reaching the PD3 exam (B2 level) is a longer process that requires consistency.
Typical timeline:
Most learners reach PD3 in around 12–18 months.
This is based on:
2–3 lessons per week
1:1 or small group teaching
Regular homework and practice
Some learners progress faster, while others need more time depending on their starting point and how much they use Danish in daily li
Already speak Danish?
If you already have a level around A2 or B1, you don’t need to start from scratch.
Many of our students in this situation reach PD3 significantly faster – often in around half the time.
We assess your level from the start, so you focus only on what you actually need.
How many lessons do you need?
As a guideline, most learners need:
Beginners (A0): 120–180 lessons in total
Basic level (A2): 80-120 lessons in total
Intermediates (B1): 50-80 lessons in total

2–4 hours of weekly homework
Our courses are structured to ensure steady progress without wasting time on unnecessary repetition.
