Should you wish to discontinue your studies in favour of an apprenticeship for qualified IT specialist, you can have your university course achievements acknowledged for your apprenticeship via the project  change IT. These acknowledgements will shorten your apprenticeship to only two years and you will be taught in special classes for students with prior knowledge at the vocational school.

The project  change IT is a joint project of the CCI Schleswig-Holstein, ofKiel University, the University of Applied Sciences Kiel, Regional Vocational Training College Technics (RBS), the German Federal Labor Market Authority Kiel, the Digital Economy Schleswig-Holstein (DiWiSH) and several companies.
