In-company training
Practical training is a part of the study process at the Estonian University of Life Sciences that helps students consolidate and apply acquired theoretical knowledge in the working world and gain practical work experience and develop skills.
Practical training is purposeful activity organised for achievement of learning outcomes, targeted at implementing the acquired knowledge and skills in work environment under the instruction of a supervisor.
Practical training activities are:
- practical study – consolidation of knowledge with hands-on activities under the guidance of a teaching staff member;
- in-company training – work placement under the supervision of an in-house supervisor in an institution or an enterprise;
- research practice – under the supervision of a lecturer or an in-house supervisor for research activities.
The load of training is specified in the curriculum, and is calculated in ECTS. One credit point corresponds to an estimated 26 hours. The load of in-company training shall also include seminars, compiling the training report and evaluation of learning outcomes.
Below you will find information about the arrangement of practical training in companies and the required documents.
If your curriculum includes practical study and/or research practice, you can find information about this in your curriculum in the Study Information System.
Practical training process includes:
- an information session on company practical training for students, where the university supervisor gives students an overview of the purpose of the upcoming company practical training, tasks to be performed during the practical training, the practical training process, and mandatory practical training documentation;
