Your child can follow an mbo 2 training if they have completed an entrance training or if they hold at least a vmbo-basic diploma. Students with a promotion certificate from three to four havo or vwo also meet the conditions for an mbo 2 training. If your child does not meet these conditions, an admission test is an option.

Content of the mbo level 2 training<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At a level 2 training, your child mainly learns practical subjects that help with work. Your child will be trained for jobs that involve hands-on work. For example, as an assistant. Your child follows the vocational training path beroepsopleidende leerweg (bol)<\/a> or the vocational guidance path beroepsbegeleidende leerweg (bbl)<\/a>. Not every mbo school offers both paths. Some have only a bol or only a bbl training.
