The studies of adult applicants have a number of specificities compared to those of students in their teenage years. These include an emphasis on flexibility. Why?
What are the specificities of adult education?
Adult education can be formal, non-formal or informal. The maturity and experience of the individual will influence how the adult learns.
This age group usually prefers a sense of control and self-direction and requires autonomy. It also concentrates more on the goal and is already well aware of what it needs to achieve. In addition, mature learners clearly prefer practical knowledge and experience that will make their work easier or provide important skills.
Schools should therefore adapt to these specificities. The first educational institutions that teach exclusively online are already operating in the Czech Republic. The European Training Academy is one of them. This makes it possible to adapt your studies fully to your own pace.
How to study at the European Academy of Education
Learning takes place virtually by taking part in online courses, seminars and other programmes. Afterwards, he or she signs up for exams. The learning is supplemented by self-study using selected study materials including sample tests. These are available in the school’s information system.
By prior arrangement, it is possible to visit the school in person at any time and undergo consultations or practical tasks under the guidance of a lecturer. If the course requires it, practical training and final examinations are held in person. The European Training Academy is completely transparent in its approach.
It is suitable for adult students who have not completed their secondary or higher education and wish to obtain a diploma or degree. In addition, the European Training Academy also provides a base for students who have decided to change their career direction completely and are interested in new ways of working in different fields.
