Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the issue of adult education with regard to the current situation with Covid - 19. Adult education is designed to acquire or develop already acquired skills. The participation of an individual in his / her educational process and the active use of his / her personal experience is crucial in adult education. This directly increases the motivation of adults to complete their studies and continue their education. The education system is also adapted to the peculiarities of adult education. As interest in lifelong learning increases, there are many offers for adults in both formal and nonformal education. The main goal of the paper is to describe the peculiarities of adult education and describe the most important principles of access to online adult education. Due to the situation that is new in education, there is not yet enough research that would directly address adult education.
