The ‘Per-corsi’ are courses for adults (14+) who wish to reintegrate into state schools (mornings or evenings), in professional courses or in suitable working environments, providing course equivalents at the level of the second year of secondary school (thus permitting entry into the third year of secondary state schools, with certificate).
There are also courses that cover basic knowledge in the fields of math, science, culture and Italian as a second language.
At the ‘Università dell’età libera’ courses, workshops and guided tours on various topics are organized, taught by qualified teachers specialized in adult education. These courses have a cultural character and therefore no official qualifications or certificates will be handed out afterwards.
