What role does artificial intelligence play in our everyday lives? Which components form an accessible and user-friendly web service? What will the future of the internet look like?

It is a common presumption that only programmers and other IT specialists need ICT expertise. However, digitalisation has a great impact on all of us and requires a shift of thinking.

Upgrade your knowledge and learn new skills on FITech courses! The study offering includes over 150 courses about ICT, 5G technology and energy storages free of charge for all Finns and permanent residents of Finland. You can start learning a new topic on a beginner course or deepen your knowledge on something more familiar on intermediate and advanced courses. Many of the courses are organised as online studies.

The application period is ongoing as of November 8th and ends about a week before the start date of each course. First courses start in January 2022.
