How to make a difference?
Are there any further developments like sand at sea? How are the various offers actually defined, articulated, differentiated?
An attempt of classification - by the German Education Council and the Federal Institute for Vocational Training.
The German Education Council has defined 1970 the overall complex of continuing education as
"Continuing or resuming organized learning after completing a varying initial phase of formation ... The end of the first phase of education and thus the beginning of potential further education is usually characterized by entry into full employment ... Short-term training or familiarization at work is not part of the framework further education ".
The generic term "further education" is subdivided into three types of educational offerings:
- The general training: includes all continuing education programs which are not directly related to the profession. In practice, it is not always easy to distinguish between continuing vocational training, as key qualifications such as Teamwork, Creativity or media literacy are becoming more and more important at work. Foreign languages serve the general personality as well as the better communication in the occupation. However, general education also includes political and cultural further education.
- The University education: has the aim to keep the knowledge of the participants up-to-date or to expand according to the university degree, as do the construction studies. Continuing training at universities, however, is also open to professionals who do not have undergraduate degrees, who would now like to learn scientific work.
- The continuing Professional Education, the classic field for courses to deepen or supplement professional knowledge is what is commonly understood as continuing education. And this professional development can even be financially supported by employers or the state. in the Vocational Training Act (BBiG) a distinction is made between training and retraining: A training is used to maintain or expand the professional knowledge and skills of employees or unemployed, or to adapt them to the current level of knowledge in a profession. On the other hand, retraining should enable a new occupational activity. The Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) offers an overview of possible continuing education professions.
