A school relationship and school attendance.

In the state of Brandenburg, a leaving certificate is awarded to anyone who has successfully completed a course of education or passed a final examination and leaves school. Leaving certificates can be considered under certain conditions if the course of education attended has not been successfully completed but the student leaves the school.

Pupils in dual vocational training receive a certificate of completion of the course of education for the school-based part of vocational training from the vocational school or OSZ (general education school) attended and a vocational certificate from the relevant competent authority.
