Informal education refers to non-structured and non-directed learning obtained from experiences at home, place of work, community, civil society, the church, mass media and other incidental sources.
Non-formal education refers to any structured short-term learning program usually for supplementing basic education and training and offered for learning very specific concepts or skills.
Non-formal learning is intentional and gained by the individual through
participation in organized workplace-based training, non-credit courses and workshops the completion of which does not lead to receiving formal credit
