Komvux (kommunal vuxenutbildning — municipal adult education) provides education for adults at compulsory and upper secondary level. Komvux consists of three parts: komvux at compulsory level, komvux at upper secondary level and komvux as SFI.
Purpose
Komvux gives adults the opportunity to supplement their education, change career paths or obtain eligibility for higher education. The programme is governed by the Education Act and the adult education curricula. Municipalities are obliged to offer komvux to all adults who need it.
Vocational adult education (Yrkesvux)
An important part of komvux is yrkesvux — vocational training courses with state subsidies that provide education directly targeting shortage occupations such as assistant nurse, welder, bus driver and more.
