Studying will take place through multiform methods. Some parts of the degree are completed online, while others are carried out through independent study and workplace-learning under an apprenticeship agreement.

The main target groups are:

• Foreign-educated individuals in the field of machinery and metalworking who are working in the industry and have a need for skills development.
• Foreign-language individuals working in the industry without formal education in the field, seeking entry into the sector.
• Foreign-language individuals working in other industries who are transitioning to the machinery and metalworking sector.
• Foreign-language individuals seeking entry into the sector from outside the workforce.

Since the implementation is through an apprenticeship, students must have a workplace from the start of their studies.

Course fee

The studying is free of charge. The student shall pay himself/herself the possible official fees of the working-life proficiency tests during the training, a part of the study expenses, f.ex. work clothes and shoes needed in the training and required by the profession.

Workplace requirements

Since the implementation is through an apprenticeship, students must have a workplace from the start of their studies. Workplace has to be located in Finland and needs to be search by the student. Selected workplaces must be such that they allow for client work and evaluation to be carried out in English.

Language skills

Applicants’ language skills will be tested during the selection process.
