Registration for the secondary school leaving certificate (MSA) in the second educational pathway

The intermediate school leaving certificate is part of the adult school's educational program.
Lessons take place 5 days a week. It is possible to choose between morning and afternoon classes.
The Mittlerer Schulabschluss corresponds to the Realschulabschluss in other federal states. It is a good basis for many apprenticeships and entitles students to apply to attend college or evening classes at the adult school.
The course begins after the summer vacation and at the beginning of February. The usual vacation regulations of the state of Bremen apply.
Attending the course is free of charge; under certain conditions, BaföG can be applied for for the last two semesters.
Admission is subject to certain conditions.

Are you over 18 years old?

Then you can attend this course if you have successfully taken part in our language assessment.
The course offered by the Bremen Adult School is aimed at adults who would like to obtain a school-leaving qualification in order to develop new career prospects.
