Today, Dante is a competitive, modern and efficient institution that offers language learning programmes including Italian, English and German as a second language, Croatian for foreigners, high school programmes, vocational education and training as well as retraining programmes.

Our institution has also been a member of the European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA) since 2017. In the fields of adult education, vocational education and training, and school education Dante has been awarded the 2020 Erasmus accreditation for the period 2021-2027.
