Movant International

International Cooperation

Movant is an educational company specializing in adult education. We both conduct education (SeQF 4-5) and create courses online. An integral part of our educations is vocational training so that the student gets a strong connection to working life during their studies. Our company network includes professional steering committees, private companies as well as public actors and spans the whole of Sweden.

The most extensive programs at EQF level 4 are carpentry, electrician, florist, hairdresser, automotive mechanic as well as plumbing. We also offer the opportunity to combine programs where the student can study the Swedish language in parallel with their vocational training. At SeQF level 5 (polytechnic), programs focus on vehicles and transportation (electric and hybrid cars) as well as IT. The IT program is Software Development – Embedded Systems.

The online courses we develop are certification and security courses which are needed to meet the demands on working environment on the Swedish labor market. We also develop custom programs for companies based on their needs.

What We Do

Movant delivers programs procured by municipalities and the Swedish Public Employment Service, developed according to the needs of the labor market. The vocational programs (EQF 5) vary in length, some programs are shorter and are aimed toward people who are already professionals, while others are up to two years and are made for people who want a new career. To confirm Industry needs, we have cooperation forums with all parts of the labor market: unions, companies, employer organizations and authorities.

Movant has a main focus on individual customization of courses, both based on the prior knowledge of the student and/or work experience that can affect the length of the education. This is done via a method that allows the individual conditions of all students to be met even though they are studying in traditional classes. 2 500 people are currently studying at Movant.

What is characteristic for our programs? The programs are practical, where large parts are vocational. After a year long program (EQF 4), the student can gain employment immediately.

The online programs are aimed both towards companies as well as other schools. They are fully remote and both complete course packages as well as the possibility of customized concepts based on the needs of the company are available. The student can then complete the course at the pace that suits them.

How We Do It

The student starts by having their knowledge validated whereupon an individual study plan is established. The first part of the year of studies (all EQF level 4 programs take roughly 1 year) takes place at the school, where both workshops and rooms for studying theory are available (IMAGE). After the student gains adequate theoretical knowledge, the students then have the opportunity of vocational training where they get to practice their skills in a live environment. The teacher assures the goals of the program are fulfilled at the company through regular visits.

Another form of education is the apprenticeship program, where the vocational section constitutes 70%-90% of the program duration. Here, the teacher also has a role in quality assurance and will visit the student throughout their studies.

The polytechnic programs (EQF 5) have periods of LIA [“Lärande I Arbete” = “learning through work” or “Qualified Apprenticeship”] which means that part of the program is carried out at companies. There are certain goals which can only be fulfilled during the LIA.

How do we develop this through internationalization?

In a Europe where the distance between people is shrinking, Movant wants to be able to offer our students the opportunity for an international exchange as well as opportunities for cooperation. We also want to give our teachers the opportunity to develop the pedagogical role as well as their professional know-how.
