Az alábbiak szerint az intézmény elméleti tudás gyakorlati alkalmazási képességének elmélyítését tűzte ki célként. Így az adott képzésnek is ilyen lehet a jellege.
A képzés célja:
„We train and educate skilled professionals to work in expert and administrative positions. The point of departure in all instruction is the worklife and managing the changes thereof. The goals and objectives of polytechnic schools differ from the perspectives emphasized at universities—university degrees are based on science, whereas the challenge for polytechnics is to meet the needs of developments in the labour market of today and the future from a more practical point of view. We seek to train new kinds of experts who are not only able to apply theories but also develop their field in practice.”

„Conversion training:
Financial aid is applied for with KELA form OT2. You can get the form at KELA offices or your Humak unit. The form and your personal study plan are handed in to the Humak Financial Aid Committee—on the basis of the personal study plan, the committee will assess whether the applicant classifies as a full-time student. Applications for the adult education subsidy should be sent to the Education Fund; additional information is available at www.koulutusrahasto.fi (in Finnish and Swedish only).”

A felnőttoktatási támogatásért folyamodik a kérelmező, ami itt "továbbképzési támogatás" névvel illethető.

Megjegyzés: a "conversion training" valóban átképzést jelent alapértelmezését tekintve.
