Benefits for Members of the Pro Trade Union

Trade Union Pro

Study languages at a lower price with the Trade Union Pro member discount

You can take distance, online and hybrid courses at Helsingin aikuisopisto from anywhere in Finland. Trade Union Pro (Ammattiliitto Pro) pays 50% of the course fee for its members.

The list of courses available at the member price is at the end of this page. There are 59 language courses to choose from.

Most of the courses listed on this page are taught in Finnish. Please check the language of instruction in the course details before you register.

How do I get the Pro member benefit?

The registration links are at the end of this page. Some fields on the registration form are in Finnish. On the form, select:

  1. under Liiton jäsenyys (union membership): Ammattiliitto Pron jäsenyys (Trade Union Pro membership)
  2. as the price: Kielikurssimaksu (Ammattiliitto Pron jäsen) (language course fee for Trade Union Pro members).

We check the memberships of everyone who has registered with the union in one batch. If your membership is valid, we will not contact you separately about it.

See also the Open University studies that Pro offers its members.

How do I pay for the course?

  • Pay for the course online when you register.
  • When you register, select Kielikurssimaksu (Ammattiliitto Pron jäsen) as the price. The union’s 50% share is included in this price.
  • The payment link is valid for two days. If you would like to pay later, please contact our office at toimisto@helao.fi.
  • Your registration becomes valid once you have paid for the course.

Language courses cannot be paid for with sports and culture benefits such as Edenred or Epassi.
