We offer various fee reductions for our courses and the childcare
Our course and childcare fees vary because donations and cantonal contributions allow us to offer fee reductions based on your canton of residence. You too can take advantage of these reductions!

The reductions possible depend on the canton of your residence. Please note the following important information:

Basel-Stadt
If you live in Basel-Stadt, you can benefit from a price reduction for German courses and childcare.

Important:
1. In order to calculate the price reduction, we need your health insurance premium reduction.
> If you do not yet receive a health insurance premium reduction, you can contact the canton's benefits office ASB (Amt für Sozialbeiträge) here  .
> The ASB will assign you a reduction category based on your income and family situation. You will receive a fee reduction from K5 according to this category.

2. In order to for you to receive a price reduction, we have to forward your data to the education department of the canton BS (adult education department) (last name, first name, date of birth, nationality, residence status, gender, number of years of formal education, employment yes or no).

3. In order to for you to receive a price reduction for childcare, we have to forward your child's data to the education department of the canton BS (adult education department) (last name, first name, date of birth of the child).

We offer courses that are free with the Basel-Stadt voucher. With a free voucher, there is no reduction on the childcare price.

The K5 playgroup accepts children who are required by the canton Basel-Stadt to attend a playgroup in order to learn German (Obligatorium BS).

Baselland:
If you live in canton Baselland, we can then give you a fee reduction based on your income for specific courses up to Niveau B1. In order to receive a fee reduction, you must provide K5 with your salary statements from the past three months. According to the regulations of the canton Basel-Landschaft, a reduction is only granted to persons with a regular long-term residency (residency permits B, C, or the Swiss passport).

Solothurn:
If you live in the Dorneck-Thierstein district of canton Solothurn, you can take advantage of fixed reduced fees for certain courses. The fees for Solothurn residents are written on K5's course descriptions.

Please stop by or call us. We would be happy to assist you in your language of choice.

A written confirmation of participation will be issued at the end of a course if a participant has finished the course. This confirmation includes course content, course dates, course level(s) and number of lessons.

The possibility of a course fee reduction for private payers from Basel-Stadt will be reviewed at the time of registration. A fee reduction is based on a family’s income, which must be shown in writing when registering for a course. Verification of a health insurance premium fee reduction must be provided when registering for a course.

Course fees may be paid in instalments. The first instalment is due when the course begins. Course fees must be paid in full before the end of the course.

Course registration may be cancelled at no cost up until one week before the course begins. If course registration is cancelled within one week after the course begins, a fee of CHF 75.– will be charged. As of the second course week, the full course fees will be billed.

Residents of Basel-Stadt with a valid Basel-Stadt voucher can attend courses free of charge. If course registration is cancelled within the first week after the course begins, the voucher can be recalled for a fee of CHF 75.–. As of the second course week, the voucher loses validity.
