What is MBO?

In Dutch: Wat is MBO?

Choices

  • Medical Vocational Education
  • Secondary Vocational Education, a practical professional trainingCorrect answer
  • A university master's degree
  • A language course

Explanation

Correct answer: Secondary Vocational Education, a practical professional training

MBO (Middelbaar Beroepsonderwijs) is a vocational programme that combines practice and theory. You can follow MBO after VMBO. MBO has levels 1 to 4. You can choose between BOL (school with a work placement) and BBL (working and going to school). Examples: hairdresser, nurse or mechanic.

Why the other choices are wrong

  • Option A: The M stands for middelbaar, not medical. MBO trains people for many jobs, not only in health care.
  • Option C: MBO is a practical professional training, not a university master. You can start it after VMBO.
  • Option D: Language courses only teach a language. MBO prepares students for a trade such as mechanic or nurse.
