mbo groen - AOC Friesland

Some trainings can be placed together
when they somehow relate to structure,
mentality and career opportunities. Such
a group of matching trainings we call a
“world”. There are 6 of these worlds in
AOC Friesland’s MBO GREEN program,
which are: Surprising Nature, Animal
Friends, Mighty Machines, Good Food,
Dynamic Design and Natural Health.
In each world pupils can choose between
a BOL (senior vocational training) and a
BBL (theoretical training for apprentices)
course. Each course is divided into 4
levels. In the BOL course students go to
school for no more than 80% of the time
and do a practical training for at least 20%
of the time. In the BBL course students
go to school one or two days a week and
having a job at a company in the related
area is required.
MBO GROEN 1 & 2
For those who are practically oriented and
have completed the Basisberoepsgerichte
Leerweg (basic profession-oriented learning
path) at a VMBO school, the AOC Friesland
has created a special education concept. This
concept goes under the name PAS-groen and
is a secondary profession-oriented training,
which uses practice, work and schooling. The
students learn and work at their own level
and at their own tempo, and will be coached
intensively by teachers and coaches who are
specifically trained for this goal.
MBO GROEN 3 & 4 / BBL
“Entice to learn”. This education concept
entails that students learn from professional
practice, in which the development of skills is
stressed. Attention is being paid not only to
knowledge, but also to the development of
many personal, practical and social skills. It’s
important that students play an active role in
the learning process. The staff will support,
stimulate and guide these efforts.
