After completing studies, one is eligible to apply to vocational colleges, colleges, or universities. Special courses are those not directly preparatory for higher education, for example, music programs and video game education. Special courses can also be directly vocational, like our nursing assistant training. One of our general courses is aimed at individuals with autism spectrum conditions, ASC. All students at the folk high school are 18 years or older.
