Proficiency level of Swedish required?

[kancil1990]

Greetings Nil,

My name is Jerry and I have been reading some of your relevant post about application of licence as well as information regarding AT to practice in Sweden. I understand eventually we would need at least a B1 proficiency both for formal and practical use but may I ask you about proficiency level of Swedish required on paper prior to apply to any hospital for the AT? Or would it be hospital/employer dependent?

ps- I am graduating this year from Poland (without licence) and no proficient in Swedish...yet.

Best regards,
Jerry

Hello Jerry,

As a citizen of a European Union country, for the time being it is up to the hospitals / employers to decide which level of proficiency they consider to be sufficient.
