What OÜ Vestifex International does

OÜ Vestifex International is a private Estonian adult learning centre headquartered at Tuleviku 7, Narva, operating in Ida-Virumaa since 2017. The organisation delivers professional qualification programmes for adult educators (a flagship 180-hour Andragogy course aligned with ETKA Andras standards), digital learning courses (Digital Learning Master 2.0, 68 hours, covering online teaching platforms and AI tools), and community-based health and wellbeing programmes (Men's and Women's Health courses, upcycling workshops, climate cafés). It also coordinates international mobility programmes under Erasmus+ KA1 in partnership with VitaTiim, and has co-developed multi-country projects such as E-Learning for 2035 with partners from Finland, Cyprus, Italy, and Slovenia.

The business model combines three revenue streams: (1) paid course tuition (Andragogy at 1,790-2,016 EUR + VAT, Digital Learning Master at 250-325 EUR + VAT), (2) EU project funding (Erasmus+, Just Transition Fund, ESF) covering staff costs, travel, and free community programme delivery, and (3) international mobility services billed through project coordination with VitaTiim. Free community programmes under the Just Transition Fund project 'Sidus ja hooliv kogukond' (2024-2026) are delivered across Narva, Sillamäe, and Jõhvi and engage 2,000+ participants annually. The organisation is multilingual (Estonian, Russian, English) and operates through a small core team of eight professionals, several of whom are award-winning Estonian adult educators with ETKA Andras board and assessment committee roles.
