adult education
Explanation:
I have queried the Eurodicautom database and instead of helping you to restrict your choice I am going to add two more.

- continuing education
- adult education

My preference would be for "adult education" pr "life long learning", in this order.
It all depends on the exact type of education you are talking.

life long training


Explanation:
l'EU parla sempre della necessità di offrire un addestramento permamente alla forza lavoro o chi si appresta a ritornare nel mondo del lavoro. È uno degli scopi primari delle politiche di formazione professionale dell'EU. Io ho incontrato spesso "life long training".
