Learning venues

Coverbild: BWP 1/2015

Despite what is suggested by the word “dual”, the provision of initial vocational training in Germany is not limited to the two learning venues of the part-time vocational school and the company. Skills for vocational proficiency are also taught in inter-company training facilities, vocational training centres and – in the form of dual courses of study – at higher education establishments.
The different venues used for initial vocational training are the focus of this issue. It highlights how learning is organised and structured in these various settings, and how they ideally work together to deliver the skills for vocational proficiency.
