Register evening grammar school

• You apply directly to your chosen evening school and prove with the necessary documents that you meet the requirements (see below). If you are unsure, please let us advise you.
• With the Berufsreife qualification, you must first take part in a six-month preliminary course, which begins on 1 February. Admission may take place via an entrance examination. After successful completion, they are accepted into the introductory phase.
• With the qualified lower secondary school leaving certificate, you will be admitted to the introductory phase.

With a Fachhochschulreife, you enter the introductory phase or, if you can prove sufficient knowledge of a second foreign language, directly into the qualification phase on probation; if the performance profile is appropriate, the final admission will take place at the end of the first half of the year. The course is then shortened to two years.

You submit your application for admission to your chosen evening grammar school. These can be:

• Staatsl. Koblenz-Kolleg und -Abendgymnasium, Koblenz
• Priv. Ketteler-Kolleg und -Abendgymnasium, Mainz
• Staatsl. Pfalz-Kolleg and -Abendgymnasium Speyer

• Staatsl. Koblenz-Kolleg and -Abendgymnasium

• You are at least 18 years old.
• You have obtained the qualified lower secondary school leaving certificate or an equivalent qualification.

• They do not already have the general university entrance qualification.
• You have not tried a high school exam more than once – even in another federal state – without success.

You must submit the following documents with your application for membership:

• a curriculum vitae with a photograph,
• a certified copy of the leaving certificate of your last general education school (e.g. Realschule plus) and the vocational school,
• certified copies of a vocational qualification certificate (e.g. journeyman's, skilled worker or assistant's certificate) or other certificates and certificates of your professional activity,
• an informal explanation of whether you have ever tried to be admitted to an evening grammar school or college,

a certificate of your professional activity.

• Land Ordinance on Admission and Course of Education at Evening Grammar Schools

Forms for the application form can be found on the websites of the evening grammar schools.

From the fourth half of the school year, a continuation of professional activity is no longer mandatory. If you are no longer employed, you can apply for BAföG funding. The support is granted as a grant, provided that the conditions are met, and is therefore not repayable subsequently; the support is independent of the income of the parents. Responsible are the offices for educational support at the location of the evening grammar school: the city administrations in Koblenz, Mainz or Speyer.

Useful information can be found in the brochure "Abitur für Erwachsenen: Der Zweite Bildungsweg – Kollegs und Abendgymnasien in Rheinland-Pfalz.
