Frequently asked questions about contract training
Assignment training is corporate training for organizations that want to be at the forefront and invest in the future by strengthening staff skills. Commissioned education via LTU Professional Education is organized for a fee and is linked to the regular educational offerings for which the university has the right to award degrees.
Training can be provided to companies, organizations and authorities - in other words, the client must be a legal entity. It is always the client who appoints the participants. If you are a private individual, you cannot order commissioned training; instead, we refer you to our regular range of training courses.
Choose from our already existing contract education or get a customized contract education. You as an employer contact us at LTU Professional Education. Together we analyse your company's needs and then customize a training.
Some courses at Professional Education are free of charge, such as digital short courses (MOOCs). Others are subject to a fee and pricing varies, but a basic condition is that the university needs to have full cost coverage for the education. Contact us for a price request.
LTU Professional Education delivers courses on campus, online or on site at your company. The length of a course can be anything from a one-day course to more complex programs running over several semesters.
The employer and the university agree on the form of the training. It can be full or part day, evening studies or a non-scheduled course.
Some commissioned courses provide higher education credits if the participant completes and passes the examination. This applies regardless of whether the participant has higher education qualifications or not. Participants who do not previously have access to higher education can credit the course as basic eligibility.
Some commissioned courses have the same content as the university's regular courses. Others can be tailor-made for the participants, according to the employer's wishes regarding the content of the course. However, the same quality and requirements are always imposed on a credit-bearing commissioned course as on a regular course.
