Starting with the spring 2025 courses, the invoicing process at Vantaa Adult Education Institute will be renewed. You will receive an online payment link via email to pay for your course fee.

The payment link will be sent once it is confirmed that the course is starting. At the latest, it is sent right after the course has started. Using the payment link, you can pay the course fee within 14 days. Alternatively, you can log in to your personal account on ilmonet.fi and make the payment under the section “Online Payments.”

Please note that the payment link details must not be copied to your online bank, as this will cause the payment to fail and it will not be registered as paid to the Adult Education Institute.

If you do not pay using the first link, you will receive a second payment link, which will also be valid for 14 days. If the invoice remains unpaid, you will receive an invoice by post or via your online bank, depending on how you have chosen to receive invoices from the Adult Education Institute.

Please make sure that Adult Education Institute has your current email address on file.
 

Currently, employment services customers cannot print a certificate of active job search directly from the system. System development is ongoing, with the goal of restoring a print option similar to the previous one. 

During the development phase, unemployment status can be verified at institutions in the Helsinki metropolitan area using one of the following three documents: 

• The most recent unemployment benefit payment slip 
• A decision letter regarding unemployment benefits 
• A certificate of active job search status printed by your employment officer (previously printable by the customer) 

Submit one of these three documents to your institution if you wish to receive the unemployment discount. The certificate can be sent by secure email or delivered in person to your institution.

Language courses - keys to internationalization
