STC Higher Education has launched the new Integration Course for TCNs in Malta. The programme supports Third-Country Nationals who need to complete the course when renewing their Single Work Permit under the Malta Labour Migration Policy.
The Ministry for Home Affairs and Security introduced the 40-hour programme as part of Malta’s updated integration framework. It helps foreign workers better understand Maltese society while meeting the latest work permit renewal requirements.
STC Higher Education delivers the programme through weekly face-to-face sessions. It is designed for Third-Country Nationals who have completed their first year of employment in Malta. Throughout the course, learners explore Maltese heritage, civic responsibilities, and the country’s legal and institutional framework. They also develop skills in digital literacy, financial awareness, language learning, and personal development. As a result, they gain the knowledge and confidence needed for everyday life in Malta.
Successfully completing the Integration Course for TCNs in Malta may also support longer work permit renewals. Standard workers may qualify for a two-year renewal if they hold a matching employment contract. Furthermore, workers under specialised schemes, including KEI, SEI, and the EU Blue Card, may benefit from longer renewal periods.
STC Higher Education delivers the training programme, while the Government’s Department of Examinations coordinates the final examination. After successfully completing both stages, participants receive the official Integration Pass Certificate. This certificate forms part of the work permit renewal process.
