Who is the mbo level 1 course for?
The entry course is for children who do not have a diploma to enter another mbo level.

The course usually takes 1 year.
Content of the mbo level 1 course
At level 1 your child learns what it takes to work in a company or institution. For example, how to make appointments and how to work with colleagues and customers. Also, general subjects like Dutch and math are included. With help from teachers, your child chooses a career profile. In the entry course, your child finds what they enjoy and are good at.
