Aims of e-learning

The ultimate aim of our programmes is to meet the detected educational needs and provide the necessary complementary qualifications to people that wish to amplify their knowledge and gain new skills.

Credit points for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) are awarded in most of the programmes, while graduates, in addition to the Certificate, also receive the Europass Diploma Supplement. The use of ECVET allows the recognition, transfer and accumulation of credit points between programmes of different Educational Centers.
