Secondary vocational education

How is Moroccan secondary vocational education organised?

There are many types of study programmes in Moroccan secondary vocational education. The study programmes vary in terms of their admission requirements, duration , content and transfer entitlement . On this page, we describe a diploma we often see: the Diplôme de Technicien .

After obtaining the DQP pupils can choose to continue further education by 2-year secondary vocational education programmes at an Institut de Technologie Appliquée (ITA) leading to a Diplôme de Technicien/الدبلوم التقني.

  • Duration: 2 years.
  • Content: secondary vocational education.
  • Admission requirements: one of the following requirements:
    • a Diplôme de Qualification Professionnelle (DQP). This is a 2-year vocational training programmes following lower secondary education; or
    • the level of the final year of the baccalauréat.
  • Diploma: Diplôme de Technicien/الدبلوم التقني.

We compare a Diplôme de Technicien to an MBO diploma level 3 or 4. This depends on the content of the study programme.
