INSTRUCTION PREPARING ADULTS FOR BASIC EDUCATION

If you are an adult and want to complete basic school education, you need to have adequate knowledge of the Finnish language. If you do not yet have good knowledge of Finnish, you can apply for the course during which you will prepare for basic education.

BASIC SCHOOL EDUCATION FOR ADULTS

You can complete basic school education, or part of it, even as an adult. The courses are delivered by educational institutes such as Tavastia Education Consortium. The course will take between 1.5 and 2 years. Most of the students are migrants.
