• On-the-job learning and skills tests• On-the-job learning is part of education included in getting the

vocational qualification. On-the-job learning is based on setting up the goal and working out the educational plan to suit the individual and tutorial system of education. The duration of the on-the-job learning is at least 20 units, i.e. about half a year, and it could be realized in one or several periods, and at different jobs.

• The training periods can be scheduled in any phase on the whole education process. A student is to get some of the professional skills of qualification at the job and is ready to meet the needs of the labour market and gets a better possibility to become employed.

• Skills tests denote skills demonstrations and arrangements, realised together with working life, with which the students shows how well they have reached the goals of the professional studies and the professionalism required in working life.
