Register Vocational School I

You have completed your vocational maturity ("Hauptschulabschluss"), but have not yet found a suitable training place? At Berufsfachschule I (BF 1), you will acquire a basic vocational qualification in a field of your choice.

The Berufsfachschule I (BF 1) leads to a subject-related vocational education and training. The lessons promote job-related theoretical and practical skills and abilities as well as general competences (e.g. in German, mathematics and English) and support you in recognising and developing your personal strengths.

The BF 1 is taught full-time and lasts one school year.

It is divided into the following disciplines:

• Nutrition and Home Economics/Social Work
• Health and care
• Trade and technology (construction, electrical, automotive, wood, metal, media technology and colour technology/interior design)
• Economy and administration

Graduation

The BF 1 concludes with a certificate of acquisition of basic vocational skills and documentation of achievements in the interdisciplinary subjects.

In addition, a degree of BF I with corresponding achievements entitles the holder to transition to the Berufsfachschule II.

The responsible vocational school can be found in the BBS Location Atlas Rhineland-Palatinate. There you will also find links to the homepages of all vocational schools in Rhineland-Palatinate. Further information is provided on the homepage of the school in question (e.g. flyers).

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