Most people who come to us have a break in their school career behind them. A failed examination, an unfinished upper secondary education, a vocational qualification and the realisation that it does not end there.
Our job is not to judge that. It is to build a route that holds: with a model that treats people as adults, with lessons you can watch twice, and with an honest assessment before anyone signs a contract.
The examination itself is administered by the federal authorities. So the value of the qualification does not depend on us, it depends on what you can do.
