Registration for all courses takes place here on the website (at the top of the page or under the "lifelong learning" menu where the course offerings are presented). You can also register by calling 464 5100 every weekday from 8:00 to 16:00. You can also request information and register by sending an email to hac@hac.is , which must include your name, ID number, address, phone number, email address and union membership. Registration for a course must normally be completed three working days before the course begins.
Individual courses are not located and those courses will be held where participation is possible with the aim of increasing flexibility in the course delivery and giving more people the opportunity to participate in almost any course. Efforts will also be made to solve the problem of sparsely populated areas if there are too few participants to fill a course. It is therefore very important that those interested in advertised courses contact us and register, so that ways can be found for as many people as possible to pursue the studies they wish.
In many cases, individuals who attend courses at the Knowledge Network are entitled to a course grant from their union. Most often, the participant pays the course fee at the beginning and then presents the union's invoice. Explore your scholarship options if you are interested in attending a course or pursuing further studies.
The Knowledge Network has entered into a cooperation agreement with the vocational training funds Sveitamennt and Ríkismennt. This means that all job-related courses are fully paid for by general employees who work for the state or municipalities. What is considered a job-related course is a joint assessment of the employee and his superior and is assessed each time. This only applies to those who pay into Framsýn or the Þórsháfn Workers' Union.
The Knowledge Network has also made an agreement with the Training Center for Staff and Labor, which applies to members of the Húsavík Workers' Association. Staff pays for individual courses, which are advertised each time, and registration takes place on the Staff website at mennt.is.
Þekkingarnet Þingeyinga fylgir eftirfarandi vinnureglum sem stjórn stofnunarinnar hefur samþykkt um meðferð ágreiningsefna fyrir nemendur og aðra þjónustunotendur stofnunarinnar:
If there is a dispute about the decisions and/or working methods of the Knowledge Network staff, the student should first approach the director with their concerns.
If a dispute cannot be resolved with the involvement of the director, the student/service user may submit their complaint to the institution's board for processing. The director will present this option and put the student in contact with the chair of the board at each time.
Disputes must be submitted in a written, traceable manner.
