Alongside its core services for learners, Þekkingarnetið offers a diverse range of adult education courses, designed to meet the needs of the community and the wishes of local residents. The majority of the course offerings are based on the Act on Further Education and Training and support the aim of providing practical and work-related education.

This work places a special emphasis on creating realistic and accessible learning opportunities for people in the labour market who have had little formal education or face limited opportunities for further study or participation in the workforce. In addition, shorter courses are offered which aim to enhance skills, interests and engagement, as well as promoting a positive experience and social participation.

The Knowledge Network is one of eleven recognised centres for continuing education in the country, operating under the provisions of the Act No. 27/2010 on further education, in accordance with an agreement with the Ministry of Education and Children's Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, Innovation and University Affairs.
