ECBO - Overview of the Dutch vocational education and training system 2010

This thematic overview of the Dutch vocational education and training system is a result of the Cedefop ReferNet work programme 2010. Its aim is to provide a clear, short description of the VET system in the Netherlands. The overview is brought up to date each year; this is the eighth version. Ecbo (Centre for Expertise in Vocational Education and Training), as ReferNet partner in the Netherlands, was responsible for carrying out this task. The white boxes in the text contain additional information which a reader can skip. This has no consequences for a clear apprehension of the Dutch vocational education and training system. This version will be updated again in the autumn of 2011, bringing the number of versions to 9.
