What else is important to know?
That depends on your school qualification and the profession you wish to pursue. Usually, vocational training takes three to four years, depending on the programme.
That depends on your school-leaving qualification and type of vocational training. A traineeship usually lasts three years, although they may be shortened to 30 months or even two years.
Dual-study programmes usually last six semesters, or 3 years.
That depends on the individual Bechtle location. Some examples would be Vienna, where Bechtle is cooperating with the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien and CAMPUS 02 UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES in Graz.
