General education schools - register for evening classes
The Abendrealschule (evening school) enables employed persons without a secondary school leaving certificate to take the Realschule leaving certificate examination. It is a part-time school and lasts two to three years, depending on the school. In the last part of the course, students may not have to work. There are different organisational forms at the individual Abendrealschulen.
The Realschulabschluss from an Abendrealschule
- entitles the holder to transfer to
- one-year or multi-year vocational colleges,
- the gymnasiale Oberstufe at community schools
- vocational grammar schools or
- the upper stage of a vocational upper secondary school and
- increases the chances of taking up an apprenticeship occupation.
