Polytechnic schools can be attended after the eighth school grade and comprise only one grade. In the ninth, or a voluntarytenth school year, students are prepared for later life and especially for a career with more in-depth general education classes,career orientation and basic vocational training. An orientation period at the start of the school year and career orientation asthe basic goal of all courses create numerous opportunities for students to become familiar with working life.Model test “New Middle School” (Neue Mittelschule)The goal of models tests with the new middle school is to provide a joint school for all 10- to 14-year olds that is open to allstudents who have completed the fourth grade in primary school.Academic Secondary School (Allgemein bildende höhere Schule)The academic secondary school comprises a four-year lower level and a four-year upper level terminating in the Reifeprüfung(matriculation exam), which is an entrance exam for university, higher technical college, post-secondary college andacademies.Special types:__Allgemeinbildende höhere Schulen (academic secondary schools) with an arts or sports bias and aptitude test__Aufbaugymnasium (language bias) and Aufbaurealgymnasium (science bias) (in some cases with transition stage; fifth toeighth form):__Gymnasium, Realgymnasium and Wirtschaftskundliches Realgymnasium für Berufstatige (science, mathematics orhomeeconomics bias and schools for working people): evening or longdistance classes, duration eight semesters__AHS für sprachliche Minderheiten (academic secondary school for language minorities – Slovenian, Croatian, Hungarian)__Werkschulheim (trades and crafts bias): Academic secondary school offering training in a trade or craft, currently forcarpentry, mechatronics and electronics (fi rst to ninth grade); located in Ebenau/Salzburg and the Vienna EvangelicalGymnasium.__Gymnasium and Realgymnasium with extensive foreign language instruction (in some cases pilot projects), e.g.:Theresianum, Europagymnasium, Realgymnasium with four required foreign languages (details available from provincialschool boards)Compulsory Vocational Schools (Berufsbildende Pflichtschulen)In extra-occupational comprehensive courses, compulsory vocational schools teach apprentices basic theory while they train intheir trade. They supplement and enhance incompany training and general education. Instruction at a vocational school may beorganized in any of the following ways: throughout the year, i.e. at least one full school day or at least two half school days perweek; this may either be based on the apprenticeship, i.e. at least eight weeks solid, or by time of year, i.e. an instruction blockfor a specific period of the year. The wide variety of organizational forms is the result of an agreement between industry andthe school authorities and takes the requirements of individual sectors and regions into account. Close co-operation betweenall those involved in vocational training at different centres of learning is one of the key factors behind the success of the dualsystem. A modern vocational training requires close links between theory and practice, between tuition at a vocational schooland industrial practice.Integrated vocational training is offered both as an apprenticeship with an extended period of training (extension for one or atmost two years) and as career training, which leads to partial qualifications. With the partial qualification option, the student hasthe possibility of undergoing a specially-tailored training in which the individual skills and aptitude and the individual needs ofthe student can be met. The training location is the company or special independent training institutions as well as vocationalcolleges (obligation or right to attend a vocational college).Intermediate Technical and Vocational Schools (BMS or Berufsbildende mittlere Schulen)Students attend BMS for one to four years. Students at such colleges with a one- or two-year curriculum receive partialvocational training, whilst those at colleges with a three- or four-year curriculum receive full vocational training. Aftercompleting at least a three-year curriculum at a medium-level secondary technical and vocational college, students can takecontinuation courses (three years) to pass the Reife- and Diplomprüfung (matriculation and diploma exam). There are alsospecial types of technical post matriculation courses for graduates of some four-year schools.The most important types of medium-level secondary technical and vocational colleges__Technische, gewerbliche and kunstgewerbliche Fachschulen (medium-level industrial, trade and crafts colleges; mostlyfouryear courses)__Handelsschule (medium-level secondary commercial college; three-year courses)Other commercial colleges: two- or three-year clerical and electronic data processing colleges, and three-year training coursesfor schools for computer science specialists__Fachschule fur wirtschaftliche Berufe (medium-level secondary college for occupations in the food and beverage industry;threeyear courses)__Wirtschaftsschule (medium-level secondary home-economics college; one- or two-year courses)Fashion school (three-year courses)NQF-SQF:"This project has been funded with support from13/14Overview of National Qualificationprepared by 3s research laboratoryframeworksthe European Commission.

Universities and highertechnical colleges are required by law to give students credit for specialized knowledge acquired by BHS graduates.Once they have worked in their fi eld for three years, graduates of most höhere technische and höhere Land- andforstwirtschaftliche Lehranstalten (higher-level secondary industrial, agricultural and forestry colleges) may apply to the FederalMinistry of Economics and Labour or the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management forauthorization to use the professional title of "lngenieur".The most important higher-level secondary technical and vocational colleges:__Höhere technische and gewerbliche Lehranstalten (higher-level secondary industrial and trade colleges)Höhere Lehranstalt für Mode, für künstlerische Gestaltung, für Produktmanagement und __Präsentation, Modedesign undProduktgestaltung (higher-level secondary college for fashion, artistic design, product management and presentation, fashiondesign and product design)__Höhere Lehranstalt für Tourismus (higher-level secondary college for tourism)__Handelsakademie (higher-level secondary commercial college)__Höhere Lehranstalt fur wirtschaftliche Berufe (higher-level secondary college for occupations in the food and beverageindustry)__Höhere Lehranstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft: (higherlevel secondary college for agriculture and forestry)__Bildungsanstalt für Kindergartenpädagogik (kindergarten teacher-training college)__Bildungsanstalten for Sozialpädagogik (teacher-training colleges for social education)Educational Courses after MatriculationThe qualification for admission is Reifeprüfung (matriculation exam), Berufsreifeprüfung (vocational matriculation examination)or an entrance examination.Kollegs (specialised post matriculation courses): These are two-year full-time (or two to three-year part-time) advancedlevel vocational courses equivalent to higher-level technical and vocational colleges.Post-secondary colleges__Training 1: Public and private post-secondary colleges train teachers for positions at primary schools (including pre-school),general secondary schools and special schools, as well as polytechnic colleges.__Training 2: Some public post-secondary colleges train teachers for positions at vocational colleges, for technical/trade areasof specialization, for the specializations of design and nutrition, and to teach information and communication at BMS or BHScolleges.__Training 3: The college of agricultural and environmental pedagogy offers training for positions at agricultural and forestryvocational colleges and technical colleges as well as for positions in agriculture and environmental studies at higher agriculturaland forestry colleges.__Training 4: Private pedagogic colleges and several private institutions train religious instruction teachers (Catholic,Evangelical, Old Catholic, Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Islamic, Jewish) at compulsory schoolsUniversities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschulen)Scientifi cally grounded vocational training with a strong practical orientation (usually one semester of vocational experience).The following types of courses are currently offered:__Diplomstudien (diploma courses): generally last 8 semester (4 years) and conclude with the academic title of "Mag.
