The introduction of training programs

will be enough candidates/participants intending to enroll the training programs. In order to have all the necessary data for course documentation as well as teaching purposes, it is important to have all candidates fill in an application form. Application forms are compiled by the training institution and they include the personal data of candidates. It is the task of the training institution to check

if the candidate meets the requirements of registration. If there are previous learning requirements, it is important to check the existence and the content of previously acquired certificates or other school documents, a certified copy of which is to be attached to the registration package. The printed or the electronic versions of the application forms are to be collected and summed up by the organizers of the training program. It is quite common to send a written confirmation of application to the applicant via email.

Finally, the applicants are diivided into learning groups and the scheduling process may start. The applicants are also informed in writing about the start date of the training program, its organizational conditions, and the schedule.

In order to complete the training program successfully human resources are of outstanding significance. The success of adult aducation is dependent on many factors. Careful planning of the training program, in view of the adequate adult education training methods and the use of high quality teaching materials are all indispensable for success. Professional planning and precise administration, as well as the optimal learning environment also need to be guaranteed. But the work of qualified teaching staff is the most important precondition of success. The quality of the teachers’ work plays a decisive role in learning outcomes. The talent, the professional, methodological preparedness and the human qualities of the teacher determine the success of training consequently, employing the right person for the job is of utmost importance for all parties concerned. In addition to having the required qualification and the professional background the methodological preparedness as well as the teacher’s good communication skills and ethical behaviour are also important.

Teachers may be employed full-time (it is rare in adult education), part time, on the basis of an entrepreneurial contract or a contract of agency. Documentation includes teachers’ CVs, certified (by the training institution) copies of their degrees or other qualifications, and statement concerning their time of employment.

In addition to human resources the training institution is to guarantee infrastructural resources as well. Training rooms, class-rooms, IT cabinets, language labs etc. might be owned by the training institution, but they can be rented from other institutions. In this latter case it is important to have a copy of the contract. Some equipment is also needed for certain training programs. In NTR training programs the SZVK list includes the items which are absolutely necessary for the training programs.

The wording of the contract is prepared by the training institution and it clarifies the rights and obligations of both parties. Its content is basically defined by §13 of Act LXXVII of 2013. Each individual trainee is to enter into a contract with the training institution and the signed contracts are to be filed for 5 years. In the contract it is necessary to indicate that the contract meets the specifications of the Act LXXVII of 2013 on adult education. The contract is to be concluded in writing.
