On study credit courses you can earn study credits into your own study records. You can also study on study credit courses without accumulating study credits. However, to earn study credits, you need to pass that course successfully.

The learning outcomes, assessment criteria and course workload are explained in the course description which clearly clarifies the competence acquired on the course.

If you wish to have a successful pass entry, your competence will be assessed. Competence assessment is always optional for a student. At the beginning of the course, you can decide if you wish to have your competence assessed and thus get a successful pass entry. So, you can attend a course even if you don’t want to have your competence assessed or a successful credit pass entry.

You will show your competence during the course with various assessment methods. The teacher will evaluate your competence based on the course assessment criteria. The course assessment criteria and methods are explained on ePerusteet palvelu online service (eperusteet.opintopolku.fi). You can find a link to this website in the course information on Ilmonet.

Competence is assessed on a pass/fail scale. The pass entry means that you have acquired the course learning outcomes. The successful pass entries are recorded after the course end date. Only the successful pass entries are recorded on Koski information pool. You will be informed of your successful pass, and you can find your pass entry on Oma Opintopolku online service.

If you are dissatisfied with your assessment, you can request a reassessment from the branch director within two months of receiving the information. When a student receives a new assessment or decision, they still can request a correction from the Regional State Administrative Agency within 14 days of being notified of the decision. The request for correction is regulated by administrative law.

The workload of the course is indicated as study credits. One study credit corresponds to 27 hours of student’s work. It depends on the course content how much independent work is required, in addition to contact studying, to reach the learning outcomes.

Your successful pass entries of study credit courses are recorded on Oma Opintopolku online service where you can share your pass entries with your employer or another educational institution. The receiving institution may take your study credits into account when you are studying at that institution, for example on optional language courses.

In principle, the recorded information is permanently stored on Koski-information pool. If you wish, you can cancel your Koski consent for storing your information on Oma Opintopolku online service.

Enroll on the course on Ilmonet (ilmonet.fi) (opens in a new window, transfers to a new website). When needed, Työväenopiston asiakaspalvelu, Adult Education Centre customer service, can help you with the enrollment. Give your consent for processing your personal data when you enroll, or at the beginning of the course at the latest, so that the study credit entries can be recorded on Koski information pool. You can give your consent using e-Identification on Ilmonet online service or on a special form at the Espoo Adult Education Centre customer service.

You can attend a study credit course even if you don’t want to get a successful pass entry for the course.

Proving your competence is a relevant part of the course functions. To get a successful pass entry, active participation on the course is required. Exercises and tasks done on the course are mainly the same to all the students.
