School grades aren't all that matters. We believe that you can best convince us with your talent, enthusiasm and personality. That's why you've come to the right place with a secondary school leaving certificate, a high school diploma or a comparable school leaving certificate.

If, for example, you would like to learn a profession with technical training content such as electronics technician or industrial mechanic, it is an advantage if you have already gained initial experience with technical topics. Your personal skills, such as teamwork and communication skills, are also very important to us.
