This article explores satisfactory learning experiences of adult learners in Flemish formal adult education. Satisfaction is an important issue in motivational psychology. We used the Comprehensive Lifelong Learning Participation Model of Boeren, Nicaise and Baert and explored whether satisfactory experiences relate to characteristics of the individual and/or characteristics of the educational institution. Results revealed that satisfactory learning experiences relate strongly to perceptions of classroom environment.
