Adult Training in Higher Education

Summary/Abstract: According to the Act on Adult Education, higher education is to be interpreted as general, language or vocational education conducted outside the school system, which, at this level, provides a somewhat narrow scope of action, since higher educational institutions – mainly via their institutions that provide further training – conduct training courses listed in the national qualifications register as well as corporate, language and information technology courses. In a wider sense, all types of training course may be classified as adult educational courses, which adult students, who have a legal relationship and legal ties with such institutions, attend in most cases on a part-time basis. Such types of course are part-time courses for a first degree, while there are special further training courses and various other courses for other sorts of degree. As of the 2000s, both of these training areas have been ever more dominantly present in higher educational institutions. The Act on National Higher Education of 2011 and the Act on Adult Education of 2013, however, brought new regulations into both areas. As a result of these new regulations, the expansion in adult training at higher educational institutions that had begun at the beginning of the 2000s has seen a significant decline in recent years. On the basis of existing legal regulations, the “dual type” adult training in higher education requires separate interpretations and, also, testing. In my study, I shall examine the features and tendencies had by this “dual type” of adult training within higher education.
