Adult education in Boden

Adult education is Boden Municipality’s education for adults. Here you can study compulsory and upper secondary school courses, take a vocational programme that leads to a job, learn Swedish from scratch, or have skills you already have formally documented through validation. The campus is in central Boden, and many courses can be studied at a distance – full time or part time, with flexible start and end dates.

Who is it for?

Adult education is for you as an adult who wants to study. Perhaps you are missing grades from compulsory or upper secondary school. Perhaps you are new to Sweden and want to learn Swedish. Perhaps you want to change careers, or simply add the courses you need in order to move on to higher vocational education or university.

Everyone has the right to an education that strengthens their position in working life and in society, regardless of ability and background. We have study and career counsellors, study supervisors and a special needs teacher who can support you along the way.

What you can study

• Swedish for immigrants (sfi) – basic Swedish for those who do not have Swedish as a first language.
• Compulsory-level adult education – equivalent to compulsory school, giving you eligibility to study further.
• Upper secondary adult education (Komvux) – single courses, topping up grades, or a full upper secondary diploma.
• Vocational programmes – training that leads straight into a profession, often with work placements with employers in the region.
• Validation – get what you already know documented, even if you have no formal grades for it.
• Adapted education – for those with an intellectual disability or an acquired brain injury.

How to apply

You apply online, and many programmes can be applied for throughout the year. If you are unsure what suits you, the first step is to book a conversation with a study and career counsellor. It is free of charge and you do not need to have decided on anything. The counsellor will help you find the right course, go through the entry requirements and explain how student finance from CSN works.

Tuition is free of charge. You pay for your own course literature.
