The Open University of Israel in Tel Aviv allows students to learn through distance education and other forms of self-study.

Adult education is especially important in Israel due to the high number of adult immigrants with varying levels of education in their home countries. Vocational and adult education subjects typically include nursing, teacher training, architecture, Hebrew language, art, music, and architecture.

Vocational training courses, both day and night classes, are available at centres jointly operated by the Ministry of Labor and industrial enterprises, as well as in institutions for technological and professional training. ‘Popular universities' all over the country offer hundreds of adult education classes and workshops in academic subjects as well as the arts. Special radio broadcasts for immigrants include a "university of the air" programme.
