Hauptschule certificate
The school-leaving certificate that one receives in Germany after successfully completing the 9th or 10th grade of the Hauptschule. It is a prerequisite for many vocational training programs.
Für diese Ausbildung ist mindestens ein Hauptschulabschluss erforderlich.
For this training program, at least a Hauptschule certificate is required.
This word is a clear example of a German compound. It is made up of 'Hauptschule' (a type of secondary school) and 'Abschluss' (completion / certificate). The 's' in between is a linking s, which connects the two parts.
Sein Hauptschulabschluss war die erste Stufe seiner beruflichen Laufbahn.
His Hauptschule certificate was the first step in his professional career.
In connection with the Hauptschulabschluss (Hauptschule certificate), the verbs 'haben' (to have), 'machen' (to do / complete), 'erwerben' (to obtain), or 'nachholen' (to make up / complete later) are often used. Companies often 'verlangen' (require) or 'benötigen' (need) it for a training program.
Er möchte seinen Hauptschulabschluss auf der Abendschule nachholen.
He wants to complete his Hauptschule certificate at night school.
The Hauptschulabschluss (Hauptschule certificate) is a basic school-leaving certificate in the German education system. It is often the minimum requirement for starting dual vocational training (apprenticeship).
Mit einem Hauptschulabschluss stehen einem viele Wege in handwerkliche Berufe offen.
With a Hauptschule certificate, many paths into skilled trades are open to you.
Abitur
'das Abitur' and 'der Hauptschulabschluss' are both German school-leaving qualifications, but they refer to very different levels. The Abitur is the highest school-leaving qualification and normally allows you to study at university. The Hauptschulabschluss is obtained earlier, usually after 9th or 10th grade, and is often important for vocational training. Learners may confuse the words because both qualifications come at the end of a period of schooling. The important point is: not every school-leaving qualification is an Abitur.
