The schooling system involves four years of primary education and is then generally divided into three branches:

A general certificate of education is obtained after nine years, and this is generally followed by training within a company.
The secondary school certificate is obtained after 10 years and provides access to technical colleges and training in various occupational categories.
The “Abitur” – or ‘A’ level equivalent – after 12 years of schooling is a requirement for university entrance.
