MPA is usually a vocational education and training (VET) in the sense of an apprenticeship. Secondary MPA training can also be completed via the dual route. For this purpose, continuing education, further training as an MPA must be completed either through a company and vocational school or purely at a private school. Both ways of continuing education, further education and training lead to a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training upon successful completion.
