three categories of settings formal learning learning was structured (in terms of learning objectives, learning time or learning support) and led to certification. Formal learning is intentional from the learner’s perspective. non-formal learning learning did not lead to certification. It is, however, structured (in terms of learning objectives, learning time or learning support). Non-formal learning opportunities may be provided in the workplace and through the activities of civil society organisations and groups.
