The college is owned by the Finnish Association of People with Physical Disabilities (FPD) and funded by the Ministry of education. Järvenpää Training Centre operations are monitored by the National Board of Education.
Järvenpää Training Centre was founded in 1948, watchmaking education being our one of the very first fields of studies. The college is nationwide, having units also in other cities and students from all over the country. The city of Järvenpää is located some 40 kilometers north from Helsinki.

All the fields have various professional qualifications to study, from business administrators to vehicle mechanics, visual artisans, jewelers and watchmakers etc.
The watchmaking education in Järvenpää follows the general guidelines in special education in Finland. To help the learning process, we supply different support services to each student according to their Individual Educational Plan (IEP). Our aim is to reach employability, eligibility for further education and empowerment for our students. To achieve these aims we offer holistic rehabilitation in the areas of physical, psychological and social life.

In the education we follow the national curriculum. 75% of the studying in watchmaking is practical work, toolmaking and repairing customers clocks and watches.
