Originally, the Turnov Education Centre was founded by the town of Turnov and Turnov secondary schools. In 2013, the VCT became part of the T-Centre, which was established in cooperation with primary schools to provide educational programmes for gifted pupils focusing on robotics, natural sciences and humanities.
Based on the decision of the Council and the City Council of Turnov, the VCT with all its current activities became part of the Antonín Marek Turnov Municipal Library, p. o. from 1. July 2024.
We provide all forms of lifelong learning.
We offer language, computer, interest courses for the general public and, within the T-centre, courses for children aimed at their development in the field of polytechnics, foreign languages, as well as pre-school preparation.
For companies we offer language, computer and other professional courses on a turnkey basis.
We also deal with school education. We organize seminars and workshops for kindergarten, primary and secondary school teachers as part of DVPP (continuing education for teaching staff).
In the social field, we train and retrain social service workers and administer professional seminars to address their requirements.
We are an accredited educational institution of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
