(c) C’ class (structured in specialties).

Sectors currently offered are information science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering / electronics / automation, construction, environment and natural resources, administration and economics, agronomy-food technology and environment, applied arts, health and social care, and occupations in the merchant marine (captain, mechanic).

UPPER SECONDARY VOCATIONAL EDUCATION (CONT)

Those who complete an upper secondary programme are awarded a vocational upper secondary school leaving certificate (equivalent to the general upper secondary school leaving certificate) and a specialisation diploma at European qualifications framework (EQF) level 4 (45), following school examinations administered by EPAL.

UPPER SECONDARY APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMMES

It is based on the German dual learning system which combines classroom education with paid practical work in a business.

Run by OAED, the Greek public employment service. OAED operates a total of 51 EPAS (47) apprenticeship schools, which have an average annual intake of 4,500-5,000 students, depending on the relevant annual announcement.

Two school years (four semesters).

Students aged 16 to 23 who have completed at least one class of the upper secondary school.

The paid practical work takes place four or five days a week in public or private sector enterprises. Participating enterprises are subsidized, EUR 11 for each day of learning at the workplace. The amount paid to the trainee student is 75% of the minimum wage set by the national general collective labour agreement and amounts to EUR 17.12 per day.

The school is responsible for finding work placements for its students.

UPPER SECONDARY APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMMES

EPAS specialisation diploma corresponding to EQF level 4

POST-SECONDARY APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMMES (EPAL APPRENTICESHIP CLASS)

EPAL ‘apprenticeship class’ is an option for those who have completed the three-year upper secondary education programmes at EPAL schools.

EPAL apprenticeship programmes are based on OAED’s dual learning principle

They belong to the non- formal system.

They include learning at the workplace (four days a week), school-based learning aiming at specialisation course, a flexible zone allowing adjustment to local labourmarket needs and preparatory courses for certification at the school.

Graduates of the ‘apprenticeship class’ will receive a diploma at EQF level 5, after procedures for certification of their qualifications by the national agency (EOPPEP) have been completed.

POST-SECONDARY VET PROGRAMMES (IEK)

Non formal programmes

Five semesters, four of theoretical (1,200 teaching hours in the specialty) and one semester work placement (960 hours)

Students who successfully complete all the prescribed semesters are awarded an attestation of vocational training. This attestation entitles them to take part in the (practical and theoretical) vocational training certification examinations conducted under the jurisdiction of EOPPEP, with which they acquire an upper secondary VET certificate.

IEK graduates are awarded occupational specialisation diplomas at EQF level 5

In 2015 there were 129 public IEKs in 74 cities and 62 private IEK, with respective student populations of 30,699 and 31,161 students.

TERTIARY LEVEL VET PROGRAMMES IN HIGHER PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS

Under the supervision of the competent ministries (Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Culture, etc.).

From 2-5 years studies

In most cases they include a period of practical training in the workplace, which is a particularly important feature of their courses.

Admission to these schools is contingent upon passing the general examinations for admission to higher education programmes, while others require special admission examinations (such as university-level schools of dance, theatre).

Qualifications awarded at level 6 (e.g. merchant marine academies) or level 5 (e.g. higher professional schools of tourism occupations).

.

LLC are run by municipalities, universities, non-profit organisations and private organisations

Programmes range from basic skills to high specialized professional programmes.
