• The syllabus of general upper secondary education is designated to last three years, but studies can be completed in 2 to 4 years.

• Structure of upper secondary education is modular, so you may combine studies from both general education studies and vocational education and training studies

Adult Education and training

• At upper secondary schools adults may study for same upper secondary vocational qualifications as young people
