Further education is also possible. For example, by taking a technical higher professional education program, teacher training for technical teachers, specific management courses, or advanced technical courses.

The program lasts three years. If you're a lateral entrant, you can complete the program in two years, depending on your previous education. You'll attend school one half-day (afternoon or evening) per week.
