Diploma programs

OEP offers Finnish competency-based diploma programs that recognize and develop a wide range of talent. The programs focus strongly on work-based learning and applying knowledge and professional skills in practice. The programs are based on Finnish vocational and professional qualifications. Competence is assessed according to the standards developed by the Finnish National Agency for Education.

The programs are recognized at the European qualification framework levels 4 and 5 in the EU and most OECD countries.

Diploma programs offer more than academic skills

All programs include 21st century skills. Soft skills, such as problem solving, team working, communication skills, digital literacy as well as entrepreneurial thinking equip the learners with the competence they need for both work and future studies.
