Vocational preparation and vocational training
The vocational preparation year (BVJ) is for young people who are required to attend vocational school and do not have a training place. In the case of vocational training, a distinction is made between training in the dual system and school-based training at vocational schools.

• Further vocational training
• After vocational training, there is the possibility of further vocational training. Among others, the following vocational schools offer advanced training programmes:
• Specialist academies
• Technical colleges
• Master craftsman schools
• Technical schools

Secondary vocational schools in Munich The business schools and vocational secondary schools (Fachoberschulen (FOS) and Berufsoberschulen (BOS)) offer a combination of general education and vocational subjects.

The business schools enable students to obtain the intermediate school leaving certificate with a focus on business subjects, which under certain conditions can also lead to a shortened training period for subsequent relevant vocational training. The specialised and vocational upper secondary schools lead to the Fachabitur and the Abitur (subject-specific or general higher education entrance qualification) in one to three years.

Second-chance education Second-chance schools offer the opportunity to obtain school-leaving qualifications at a later date. Lessons can take place in the evening alongside work or as a full-time programme during the day.
