The retraining takes place on the basis of a recognized training occupation. It ends, just like vocational training, with a final examination. This final examination for retraining is called a retraining examination.
As a rule, you conclude a retraining contract and then take part in the regular final examination for this occupation. A separate retraining examination is offered by some training providers, but is not the rule.
A retraining examination is conducted by the bodies responsible for training in your occupation at the end of the retraining period. Before you can take part in the retraining examination, you must have completed the retraining course in full.
Your retraining contract has been notified to the competent body by the retraining company. The competent body conducts the retraining examination together with the examination board. The examination board will examine and assess your examination performance. Your retraining ends when you receive the results from the examination board. If you fail the retraining examination, you have the opportunity to retake the examination twice.
