Step1: Additional training
When you apply for a licence after additional training you have to use the application form for educated outside of the EU and EEA. You can not apply via the e-service for educated in Sweden.
There is a limited number of places at the additional training at a few different universities. Each university decides the requirements to be able to attend the the additional training.
This is what you do
- Apply for additional training
- Send us a certificate when your additional training has been approved.
The following institutions offer additional training to become a nurse resposible for general care:
- Karolinska Institute: additional training for nurse resposible for general care in Stockholm.
- University of Gothenburg: additional training for nurse resposible for general care in Gothenburg
- University Gävle: additional training for nurse resposible for general care in Gävle.
How long does it take?
Assuming you have included all the required information, processing an application for a licence currently takes approximately 2–4 weeks.
When we receive your application, we will review the police records to verify that you have not been convicted of a serious criminal offence. If your name appears in the records, we will contact you in order to evaluate the situation on an individual basis. You will then have to wait a bit longer than normal.
About secure e-mail
If an e-mail message contains any personal information other than your name, we will send what is known as a confidential or encrypted message to you via e-mail. You will then receive an e-mail message containing a link. Click on the link to access your message.
You can open your message on a computer, mobile phone or other device. When you close the device, remember to log out from the message itself, and follow the instructions rather than closing by clicking on the X. This will allow you to open the message multiple times.
The message will remain accessible for 30 days. You can save the entire message and the attached file on your computer, mobile phone or other device.
