Document background
The Certificate of Apprenticeship (Lehrabschlusszeugnis) is a crucial document in Austria's dual education system, serving as official proof of successful completion of vocational training. It is issued upon passing the final apprenticeship examination (Lehrabschlusspr眉fung) and represents a nationally recognized qualification. The certificate includes personal details of the apprentice, information about the training company, the specific trade or profession, duration of training, and examination results. This document is required for professional practice in regulated trades, career advancement, and further education. It is governed by the Austrian Vocational Training Act and is recognized throughout the European Union through frameworks like the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). The certificate is particularly important for employers verifying qualifications and for apprentices pursuing career opportunities or additional professional certifications.
