Preparatory training (AV dual or AV) offers you, as a young person, vocational orientation and career guidance. In the AVdual and AV you will learn the basics of one to three occupational fields, such as construction technology, food production, metal technology. In addition, you will also expand your general education as well as your training maturity. You must register for participation.

The AVdual/AV is a full-time training programme and usually lasts one year. The lessons consist of theory and practice of

• occupation-related learning field projects and
• lifeworld-related learning projects.

If you do not have a lower secondary school leaving certificate, you can acquire a level of education equivalent to the lower secondary school leaving certificate by successfully taking a final examination.
