Apprenticeship Exam Preparation
Practice-Oriented Further Training for the Attainment of Higher Qualifications
ÖJAB’s BPI offers young people and adults opportunities for initial and continuing vocational education and training in a wide range of areas. In order to be able to take part in these measures, prospective participants must present a referral from the respective contracting agencies and/or partner organizations – e.g., the Austrian Labour Market Service (Arbeitsmarktservice – AMS).
Modular Apprenticeship Exam Preparation (MLV) Courses
MLV courses are extra-occupational in nature. Participants choose the course that is right for them based on their personal goals, prior knowledge, and on-the-job experience. Courses are offered during the workday for unemployed individuals; other times of day feature extra-occupational courses for individuals who are currently employed.
Subject areas: metalworking, metal technology, electrical engineering, vehicle body construction

Apprenticeship Exam (LAP) Preparatory Program (VOL)
The objective of this program is to convey the knowledge and skills needed to work in the fields of mechatronics, metal technology, and electrical engineering. Graduates earn certificates issued by the BPI that document course content, hours, and passage of the apprenticeship exam in their chosen occupations.
Subject areas: metalworking, metal technology, electrical engineering, mechatronics

IN-SCHOOL APPRENTICESHIP (ÜBA)
This program targets young people aged 21 and under who have successfully completed their compulsory schooling, are being assisted by Austria’s Labour Market Service, and would like to become apprentices. Participants who have not found a business at which to apprentice may complete apprenticeships at the BPI within the standard period of three years. They simultaneously attend vocational school and complete external internships at actual businesses.
