About our school

The education is divided in two parts. The basic education lasts two school years. In the first year on one hand the compulsory education is fulfilled and on the other hand the students get a practically orientated training and common agricultural knowledge.

After the second year the requirements for the agricultural vocational compulsory education are met by agricultural trainees.

The second part our the education, the "management training", starts with a practical training of 16 months. At least four months of this training have to be absolved on an external farm. The rest of the training can also be passed at home, at the farm of the student's parents.

After the training the students return for another six months to the school where their practical knowledge is reflected.

The education ends with the granting of the craft certificate

The alumni of the agricultural vocational school in Eisenstadt are valued craftsmen at wineries and at fruit- and vegetable growing farms.
