Finding the perfect career: When do career choice schools start?

Career choice schools usually start on fixed dates throughout the year, usually in August (start of the school year) or sometimes in spring. Career choice training or continuing education, further training is often aligned with the school year, but can start differently depending on the provider.

The following start times typically apply:

• August/September: most frequent start parallel to the new school year
• January/February: possible as an interim entry at some schools
• Individual starts: with private providers or flexible course models
