MBO GROEN
To students, who have completed secondary school, we offer 24 different MBO GREEN trainings within the BOL and BBL framework.
Some trainings can be placed together when they somehow relate to structure, mentality and career opportunities. Such a group of matching trainings we call a “world”. There are 6 of these worlds in AOC Friesland’s MBO GREEN program, which are: Surprising Nature, Animal Friends, Mighty Machines, Good Food, Dynamic Design and Natural Health.
In each world pupils can choose between a BOL (senior vocational training) and a BBL (theoretical training for apprentices) course. Each course is divided into 4 levels. In the BOL course students go to school for no more than 80% of the time and do a practical training for at least 20% of the time. In the BBL course students go to school one or two days a week and having a job at a company in the related area is required.
MBO GROEN 1 & 2
For those who are practically oriented and have completed the Basisberoepsgerichte Leerweg (basic profession-oriented learning path) at a VMBO school, the AOC Friesland has created a special education concept. This concept goes under the name PAS-groen and is a secondary profession-oriented training, which uses practice, work and schooling. The students learn and work at their own level and at their own tempo, and will be coached intensively by teachers and coaches who are specifically trained for this goal.
MBO GROEN 3 & 4 / BBL
“Entice to learn”. This education concept entails that students learn from professional practice, in which the development of skills is stressed. Attention is being paid not only to knowledge, but also to the development of many personal, practical and social skills. It’s important that students play an active role in the learning process. The staff will support, stimulate and guide these efforts.
