Application for admission to a vocational school

The courses offered by the various vocational schools either prepare students for a profession or lead to a school-based vocational qualification. In some cases, they are offered on a dual qualification basis.

The school-based form of vocational training at a vocational school with a vocational qualification is offered in occupational areas in which there is no comparable in-company training in this form in the dual system. Vocational training at the vocational school ends with a state examination.

The vocational preparation courses at the vocational school deepen career orientation and prepare students to enter vocational training. They can be one-year or two-year courses.

In the double-qualifying courses of the vocational school for assistants, there is the possibility of simultaneously and integratively completing recognized vocational training and acquiring a university entrance qualification (Fachhochschulreife or Allgemeine Hochschulreife).
