What kind of qualification type is it?

This qualification is a fully qualifying vocational education and training at a vocational school. Attendance at full-time vocational school for a period of three years imparts the necessary qualifications for the exercising of a recognised training occupation pursuant to the Vocational Training Act or Crafts and Trades Regulation Code. The duration of these training courses is aligned to the period for comparable training courses in the dual system. Occupationally related teaching is required to be based on the training regulations and the skeleton curriculum of the respective training occupation and cross-occupational teaching on the respective federal state curriculum. Acquisition of the competences of company-based training takes place in workshops, laboratories or learning offices. Successful completion of training confers the right directly to exercise the occupation in question as a qualified skilled worker in a recognised training occupation.

These bring together professional competence, autonomy and social competence to form overall occupational competence.
