Hello

I am a computer programmer from Germany and I have some problems to explain my type
of education (in my resume), maybe you can help me with that. The German Federal
Ministry of Education and Research describes the dual system like that:

Anyone learning a trade in Germany usually does so under the dual system of
vocational education and training. The system is called 'dual' because vocational
training takes place both in the company and in part-time vocational school. The
company provides the apprentice mostly with practical training. Part-time vocational
school supplements company-based training by theoretical instruction. The system is
based on statutory training regulations and on the range of traditional, updated and
newly emerging, up-to-date training occupations.

The education is monitored and the final exams are set by the German Chamber of
Industry and Commerce.

Is there an equivalent education type in Canada?

Thanks for your help.

Bye

Stephan
