Education for adults
Professional qualifications
Many people work or want to work in a field for which they are not formally qualified. Act No. 179/2006 Coll., on the verification and recognition of the results of further education, allows you to obtain a nationwide certificate for knowledge and skills that you do not have any formal qualifications for (apprenticeship certificate, school-leaving (maturita) certificate). Essentially, this system makes it possible to do so without attending school and systematically preparing for the chosen field. All you have to do is pass the individual qualification tests (in the form of an exam), after which you can take the final examination and obtain your apprenticeship certificate as a full qualification.
