Abstract: Regardless of the level of instruction, formal courses never can provide the knowledge and skills, which the labour market or a specific employer is demanding. CET fills the gaps, CET also helps to cope with scientific and technological progress and it is the only means for an employee to maintain professional fitness or to prepare for a higher career and life-long learning may result. The paper discusses the characteristics and methods of CET. It emphasis the participation of adult learning and the role of personal commitment as well as the need for tailor-made programmes and their rigid quality assessment.
