The Finnish National Agency for Education has acquired our copying licence for free vocational education leading to an initial vocational qualification, and preparatory education. The education leading to an initial vocational qualification may also be carried out as apprenticeship training.
The agreement with the Finnish National Agency for Education does not apply to other vocational education, such as education leading to a further vocational qualification or specialist vocational qualification, personnel training, labour market training or other training not leading to a qualification, training or copying for which the educational institution charges a fee, or education commissioned and paid for by a third party. Education service providers need to acquire a copying licence directly from Kopiosto for such education and copying purposes. Other forms of vocational education and training, such as further vocational qualifications or specialist vocational qualifications, may also be carried out as apprenticeship training. The agreement with the Finnish National Agency for Education does not cover this type of training either.
The price of the copying licence for other vocational education and training is based on a remuneration per student year. Our remuneration per student year is determined based on the copying surveys we carry out. The remuneration for the licence is distributed to the authors and publishers of the works by us.
You can order a licence from our Licence Service. First-time customers need to order their licence from our customer service department.
