Studies level

[garfield185]

Hi.

Excuse me for writing in English, Ik leer Nederlands.

I'd like to know if my level of studies is what you call HBO in Netherlands.

Here, when you finish basisschool and middelbare school (18 jaar oud), you can choose between going to the university, or making a proffessional training, which is shorter in time.

Both are at the same level, but of course university is a higher degree, because 4 years are needed. The "Higher Professional Training" is 2 years.

That is what I studied. Can I say that I have HBO equivalent?

Dank je.
