The world has changed a lot in recent years. First the Covid19 epidemic and then the economic crisis have forced many people to change jobs. Learning is both a necessity and a good investment, as a second or third qualification is always useful.
“In the past, in many areas, it was possible to find a job without a qualification, for example because of a shortage of skilled workers. However, legislation has become more and more stringent, so paper is becoming more important than experience,” said Andrea Szabó, education expert at TanfolyamOKJ.hu.
The survey showed that although the number of people studying for a job change is leading the field by a significant margin, it is followed by those who are studying just for the paper and then those who want to make their dream come true. The fourth largest group is made up of mothers who want to make the most of their time at home with their children, and the top 5 also includes those who only have a school-leaving qualification.

“We see that relatively few people undertake adult learning for purely financial reasons, as well as a minority who think that learning is a good thing,” says Andrea Szabó.
And what will most people have studied in 2022? Here are the most popular professions:
“Nowadays, there are more women in education than men, which is why women’s professions are more attractive, such as social, education and beauty,” she said.
In the case of make-up artist, fitness instructor and electrician courses, the idea of owning your own business can also be an attractive option, offering good earnings and a more relaxed schedule. The popularity of sporting professions is also driven by the spread of health-conscious lifestyles.
The golden wheat ear farmer training has become popular because of land purchase, which is compulsory under the Land Act. In addition to meeting other eligibility requirements, only those who are registered in the land register and have the relevant professional qualifications can be authorised to purchase land and lease land.
“Courses that can be started with primary school qualifications are particularly popular. These include training as a nanny, assistant carer, personal and property guard, food vendor and golden wheat ear farmer. They are also fast-track courses that can be used to get a job in a short time,” added the education expert from TanfolyamOKJ.hu.
