Non-formal adult education is dynamically developing in different forms. The article represents them in the example of Ukraine. Non-formal education was acknowledged only in 2017 in the Law of Ukraine “On Education”, though it had been provided in several forms before. Currently, the most popular form of non-formal adult education in Ukraine is the Centers for Adult Education. They are created on the initiative of public organizations in partnership with foreign adult education organizations, in particular DVV International. To analyze their profiles there were identified several criteria: relation to formal or nonformal education, initiators and organizers, target audience, providers of methodical and financial assistance, thematic directions of their activity. As a result of the analysis according to the identified criteria, the information from Internet resources on the activity of adult educational centres was systemized; their similar and different features in their organization form were distinguished and defined their models: university- and college-based, school-based; museum and library-based. In addition, the directions for the further scientific research in this field were outlined.
