Credit courses

At The Adult Education Centre of the Tampere Region, you have the opportunity to take courses that award credits. These credits can be utilized, for example, in job applications or further studies. Credit courses are designed based on competencies, aiming to both recognize and validate the skills acquired by students during their free time.

The completion records of credit courses are stored in the national My Studyinfo (Oma Opintopolku) service, where students can view and share their academic information with any desired party.

At The Adult Education Centre, you can earn credits in subjects such as information technology, handicrafts, Finnish language, and foreign languages. The selection varies annually.
