TUVA education is intended for applicants who have completed the primary and lower secondary education syllabus or a previous corresponding syllabus.

The Finnish proficiency level of applicants who do not speak it as their first language must be at least A1.3–A2.1, depending on the education provider. If necessary, language proficiency testing is arranged for foreign-language speakers before student selections.

Benefits of participating in the service:

The general goal of TUVA education is to gain learning skills that will allow the student to apply for general upper secondary education or vocational education and training and successfully complete these studies. Learning skills may refer to things such as proficiency in the language used in the studies/qualification, suitable study skills and life management skills.

During TUVA education, you will receive support and guidance on how to clarify your goals for the future as well as help with gaining the skills required to enrol in upper secondary education and successfully complete the studies. During TUVA education:
