Study credit courses are ordinary courses of the Adult Education Centre, the content of which is described on competence basis. This means that the course has both learning objectives and assessment criteria. Learning objectives tell you what skills you are expected to have at the end of the course, and the evaluation criteria describe how you are expected to demonstrate the new skills during the course.
Courses are evaluated on the pass / fail scale. You are able to see your personal study data in My StudyInfo where you can share it, for example, with an employer or educational institution in order to get credited for your studies.

This is how it works
Sign up for a study credit course online or call our customer service. In the first meeting of the course, tell the teacher you want to complete credits in the course. If you can not be present in the first meeting, please inform the course coordinator (contact information in the sidebar).
In order to store your course data, we need your consent for processing information. You will receive an electronically signed form by email. You can also sign the form on paper at our Customer Service. Bring your ID. The consent of a minor student is given by his or her guardian.
At the beginning of the course, you will receive instructions from the teacher about what you need to do to pass the course. You need to complete the necessary tasks and other exercises before the course ends. After finishing the course, the data of the passed course is stored in the national Koski database. You will see your study data at My StudyInfo (Oma opintopolku).
If at any point you feel that you do not want credits from the course, please inform the teacher. The data of suspended or failed courses is not stored in the database.
