LIFELONG LEARNING

Studying is a life’s work – for everyone!

Various opportunities for people who wish to improve their knowledge or skills and thereby increase their own value as an employee.

Fourteen lifelong learning centers

All over the country offer a variety of services;
validation of prior learning, career counseling, Icelandic language courses, analysis of educational needs and general re-education.

Learning takes place in many locations

Our strengths, experience and knowledge are attributes that should not be underestimated. But sometimes help is needed to make them visible and add to them. It is never too late.
