Schleswig-Holstein training preparation program (AVSH)

Educational goals
  • The Schleswig-Holstein training preparation program (AVSH) is initially aimed at young people who want to consolidate their vocational orientation and need support with the transition to training.
  • If necessary, pupils receive assistance with learning German.
  • Young people without an ESA have the opportunity to obtain this first general school-leaving qualification if they perform well in all subjects and successfully complete additional lessons in mathematics, German and English. Transfer to training as a state-certified care assistant or to training as a social education assistant (with ESA in 3 years) is possible.
  • Pupils who already have the MSA and have not yet received a place at the vocational school specializing in social pedagogy (social pedagogical assistant with MSA in 2 years) can improve their chances of admission for the next application by attending AVSH-Soziales and completing internships in specified fields of work.
