The Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística (CPNL) presented the courses on offer for the first Katalanischkurse term of 2026/27 on 19 August 2026 and set the enrolment period. According to the consortium’s announcement and the Generalitat de Catalunya enrolment is possible on 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 21 September 2026 . Registration is online or in person at CPNL’s regional centres; priority enrolment windows apply for some levels, followed by general registration dates.
The course programme ranges from beginner level to C2 and is available both in person and online. People taking a CPNL course for the first time must have their language level assessed before enrolling. Returning participants can register directly during the relevant time windows. The weekend of 19 and 20 September is not part of the enrolment schedule; the final enrolment date is 21 September 2026. Details of procedures, priorities and deadlines are set out in the Normativa 2026/27 .
This latest step is part of the CPNL’s ongoing course planning. The consortium is the Generalitat’s main body for promoting Catalan among adults outside the mainstream school system. In recent years, it has expanded its course portfolio and introduced procedures to manage demand. Staggered dates and priority windows are intended to help avoid bottlenecks and make allocation more transparent. The first tranche of the programme for the first term of 2026/27 is visible in the consortium’s course search, and the CPNL says further listings will be added progressively.
Those affected are primarily adults in Catalonia, who are seeking a formal language qualification or wish to improve their skills for everyday professional use. The announcement is relevant to municipal institutions and partner organisations, as many courses are run in cooperation with them. Those responsible emphasise that online registration is the quickest option for many participants, while in-person enrolment at local centres will remain available.
The dates given 14 September 2026 up to 21 September 2026 are based on the CPNL announcement of 19 August 2026, which was confirmed by the Generalitat de Catalunya. Background statements about rising demand and the expansion of provision refer to recent information from the consortium and the responsible administration; no forecasts for course occupancy were made in the current announcement.
