Non-formal education - the process of obtaining education that is not regulated by the place, term and form of education and does not imply obtaining documents on education of the state standard.
The scope of non-formal education includes individual classes (certificate programs, trainings, short-term courses, summer schools, etc., under the guidance of coaches, tutors and other specialists) that have practical short-term goals. In most cases, informal training involves the receipt by students of relevant practical and theoretical knowledge, skills, mastering modern methods of solving professional problems, increasing the level of their professional competence, improving existing knowledge and their self-development.
For choreographers, informal education includes: workshops on various types of choreographic art, master classes of leading specialists in choreographic art, scientific-practical and scientific-theoretical conferences aimed at increasing knowledge in the field of choreography, festivals-competitions and other events that can confirm the acquisition and improvement of professional competencies.
All wishing, regardless of their age, gender or level of professional skills have the opportunity to receive non-formal education. It should be noted that the results of training obtained in this case can be re-scored to applicants for education in their formal training. That is, applicants have the opportunity to count on a partial and/or complete rewrite of the results of non-formal education.
The results of training obtained through non-formal education are recognized in the system of formal education in the manner prescribed by law, and the procedures for their recognition are described Regulation on the Procedure for Recognition of Learning Outcomes Obtained through Informal and/or Informational Education at the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture
