How to study in college, or All about secondary vocational education

More and more schoolchildren arestudy in college. After all, this is not the worst option for obtaining a profession. Many parents still believe that for successful work it is necessary to first wean 11 years in school, then go to university, get a diploma (preferably red), and only after that the child will have a successful job. In fact, this is not so. And quite often training in college gives more advantages in building a career. It is for this reason that schoolchildren are wondering how difficult it is to study in a variety of colleges. What can you say about teaching here? What are the pros and cons of teaching? Is it really easier to study in such institutions than in universities?

College is ...

Many people are interested in studying in college. Only not everyone understands which institutions are involved. In the US, for example, a college is a fairly common type of educational institutions that provide a decent education. But in Russia everything is somewhat different.

Colleges and colleges are considered not the bestplace for training. In any case, many parents think so. In fact, the child will not receive a higher education, but secondary vocational education. It differs from university, but it allows you to get at least some diploma.

In reality, college is a place that givesthe opportunity to master a variety of specialties. And get a diploma of secondary vocational education in a short time. He will help when entering the university. For example, enroll applicants are able to immediately on the 2-3rd course. Many schoolchildren more and more often think about going not to college but to college. But what should prospective students know? How do they go to college? Is it difficult for a child?

Learning process

In general, it resembles schooling, but there are alsoelements of university techniques. You will have to learn the same way as in a higher educational institution - go to classes on a schedule, several times a year to take the session. The only difference is that in the end the child will receive a diploma not about higher, but about secondary vocational education.

Go to school will have either in the morning, or inevening time. As a rule, the first option is much more common. Is it difficult to study in college? It all depends on what the child did. As practice shows, quite often in the school it is more difficult than at a school or university. But some believe that studying in college is easy. This is not quite true. After all, the learning process as a whole does not differ from the university one. Is that a training program. And compulsory practice.

Practice is compulsory

The fact is that when studying at a university, students ordo not earn money by profession, or do not work at all. The university takes a very long time. And the practice begins only on the 3rd course, but lasts a little. In fact, the student does not know how to work in the chosen specialty.

A college in this area offers moreopportunities. Why? Usually there is a special time for work, or rather, for practice. In fact, the child will both learn and receive work experience, which graduates of universities do not have. Practice is an obligatory component of training in the school. Without it, not do.

That's why many schoolchildren think about howstudy in college. In Russia, without work experience, it is difficult to get a job even with a red diploma. Practical skills are increasingly being valued. College, as already said, allows them to get to the time of release. Quite often after graduating from college, the student continues to work. Or he is immediately helped with employment.

When to enter

The next question that interests many iswhen to enter college. In Russia there are 2 options. Schoolchildren can choose when to enter college. It is compulsory to apply to the university only after the end of the 11th form of the school. Or after school.

But in college you can do both after 9, soand after the 11th grade. Depending on which type of income was chosen, as well as on the specialty of the child, the length of the training will depend.

How do they go to college? Actually the same as in the university. But with the difference that the obligatory component is the acquisition of work experience in the chosen specialty. Well, the order of enrollment is not as serious as in higher education. You can enter college after 9th grade on the basis of GIA, after 11 - on USE. Most often just give a certificate. And then the entrant will be credited to this or that specialty. It turns out that admission to the school is more simple.

How much to learn

And how many are in college? Much depends on the specialty, and also on when the child entered the school. If the training takes place on the basis of 11 classes of the school, you will have to study for another 1 year 10 months to obtain the diploma. In some cases - 2 g.

How many years do they study in college after grade 9? Usually 2 years 10 months or 3. Some institutions need to study for 4 years. And it does not matter, after 11 or after the 9th grade of the school a man entered. In any case, as practice shows, training in a technical school or college lasts less than in a university.

Advantages and disadvantages

And now we learn what are the advantages and disadvantageshave a secondary vocational education. It is stated that it is difficult to study in college mainly on technical specialties. There, education is exactly the same as in the university. In addition, it will be hard for those who do not want to study and work at all. Therefore, to enter the technical school on the pretext of "just to not learn" is not worth it.

What are the pros and cons of such training? The advantages include:

• a variety of specialties;
• experience;
• obtaining a diploma in the shortest possible time;
• duration of training;
• help with employment (not everywhere, but often found);
• the opportunity to enter the institute immediately for the third year.

Disadvantages at the moment less. Among them we can distinguish:

• contempt of society - some consider secondary vocational education inferior;
• the need for training in a university if you need a diploma of "tower";
• some colleges offer not the best knowledge;
• there may be problems in finding a job (previously there was a pronounced difference between graduates of colleges and universities, now less common).

In any case, it is now clear how to studycollege. Should I enter here? Everyone decides this himself. If the first place for a person is to gain experience in a particular profession, you can go to the technical school. But we will have to be prepared for the fact that many parents will not approve this step.
