For workers
For workers from outside the EU: Croatian for your job, in our classroom or at your workplace. A Croatian Employment Service (HZZ) voucher pays 30 to 70% of the price, depending on the size of the employer.
Prices from Jantar’s price list of 10 September 2026, for Split. Books are not included. Discounts cannot be combined and do not apply to companies.
No prior knowledge is needed. The first course takes you to A1.1, the basic level the Aliens Act asks for when a permit is extended.
Check with the office you are applying to which proof it accepts.
In our classrooms in Split, Zagreb and Zadar; one-to-one lessons also online, wherever you live.
A group course for adults runs for one semester, about four and a half months, twice a week for 90 minutes: 70 lessons of 45 minutes. Main enrolments are in September and February; we also open a group at other times when enough people sign up.
No. Almost all our Croatian learners start from zero, at level A1.1. For those who go on, we run groups up to C2, and one-to-one lessons at any level.
Yes. Online lessons follow the same programme as lessons in the classroom, usually one-to-one at times that suit you.
A1.1, the basic level the Aliens Act asks for. Jantar’s ministry-verified A1 programme for adults has 140 hours: A1.1 (70 hours) and A1.2 (70 hours). The 70-hour voucher course is the A1.1 part.
Lessons are in Croatian from the first day, with pictures, gestures and real situations. Our teachers can explain in English when it helps; most of them also teach English or another language.
From June 2027 the amended Aliens Act requires many workers from outside the EU to show Croatian at level A1.1 when they extend their permit or apply for a new one. Read our page on the A1.1 requirement, and ask your employer: a voucher from the Croatian Employment Service (HZZ) pays 30 to 70% of a 70-hour course.
We will suggest a group, times and the price, and answer your questions about the A1.1 requirement.
