Berufsvorbereitungsjahr anmelden

You are still required to attend school, without a vocational school leaving certificate ("Hauptschulabschluss") and have not yet found a training place or job? Then register with the responsible vocational school for a vocational preparation year!

If you are still required to attend school and do not have a vocational leaving certificate ("Hauptschulabschluss") and also no job or training place, then you can register for a vocational preparation year at the vocational school responsible for you.

In order to register at the responsible vocational school, the half-year report of the last school attended must usually be submitted and, as soon as it is available, the leaving certificate or leaving certificate.

Further information on any required documents (e.g. CV, passport photo) can be obtained from your vocational school.

The prerequisite for admission to the vocational preparation year is at least nine years of schooling and

• a leaving certificate from Realschule plus, an integrated comprehensive school or a grammar school or
• a school leaving certificate with a focus on learning or
• an equivalent degree

There are no school fees.

You can obtain initial advice on the vocational preparation year from the employment agency responsible for you. They can also recommend the responsible vocational school, which you can also contact for further information on the vocational preparation year and the registration procedure.

When registering at the vocational school responsible for you, you must indicate, among other things: enter your personal details, which are important for everyday school life, and fill out the school-specific forms.

In order for a school to be able to set up a sufficient number of classes at an early stage, registration should be made after the half-year reports have been issued, preferably before 1.3. of each year.

Later registrations are also possible.

The vocational preparation year is aimed at young people who are subject to compulsory schooling and are not in an apprenticeship or have an employment relationship. The vocational preparation year is intended to enable the acquisition of an educational qualification equivalent to the lower secondary school leaving certificate ("Berufsreife").

Please contact the vocational school responsible for you. There you will find further information on the vocational preparation year (BVJ) and the registration procedure.

The responsible vocational school can be found on the Education Server Rhineland-Palatinate.
