Adult Education Institution Studium (AEI Studium) was founded in 2010 and is currently one of the leading adult education institutions in Croatia with centers in five cities (Vukovar, Vinkovci, Osijek, Zadar, Šibenik) and activities organized throughout in the whole country.

AEI Studium offers over 200 different adult education programs in the form of reskilling and upskilling, primary and secondary adult education programs and micro qualification programs, and several additional academies, trainings, workshops, and other forms of formal and non-formal education activities. The organization currently employs 27 staff members and collaborates with over 200 associate professors and experts in various fields.

Our institution implements programs in the following sectors: health and social welfare, economy and trade, agriculture and forestry, tourism and hospitality, traffic, civil engineering and geodesy, electrical and mechanical engineering and computing, foreign languages, and soft skills.

The key activities of AEI Studium include:
– Development and implementation of new curricula and programs, based on the needs of learners and demands of the contemporary labor market, and continual adjustment of programs according to contemporary qualifications and occupation standards
– Preparation and implementation of EU projects
– Creating new opportunities for employment and inclusion of marginalized groups. Through the programs of social inclusion for marginalized individuals and the implementation of education programs that are currently deficient in the labor market, the organization contributes to the improvement of the socio-economical and living conditions of the population in its area of operation.
– Focusing on innovation and empowerment of intellectual capital
– promoting equality, social cohesion, and active citizenship through lifelong learning programs

AEI Studium is currently highly involved in the project of the Agency for Vocational Education and Training regarding the Methodology for creating adult education programs for acquiring micro- credentials, partial qualifications, and complete qualifications financed through vouchers and other sources of financing, a national project stemming from the recommendation on the European approach to micro-qualifications. AEI Studium is one of the leading institutions on the national level actively included in the process of development of new micro qualification programs and currently has almost 70 verified micro qualification programs in the green and digital field. Studium currently has the highest number of »green« micro qualification programs in Croatia.

Also, the institution is currently in the process of digitalization of both the learning process and the business operations. For this purpose, an e-learning platform of AEI Studium was developed and education programs were adapted to online implementation and verified by the Ministry in this new form. For this purpose, we’ve been actively working on the development of ICT skills in our employees, associates and learners

AEI Studium has over 30 successful projects funded by the European Social Fund (ESF), Interreg Program, EGP, Norwegian Fund, and Erasmus+. Throughout these projects, 39 new education programs were developed and over 900 adult learners were included in education activities.
