Earn the EBBD certificate
Students studying in the Vocational Qualification in Business programme can, if they wish, complete the EBBD certificate as proof of international competence.
Proof of international business competence
If you complete the Vocational Qualification in Business programme, you also have an excellent opportunity to obtain the Business Behaviour and Democracy certificate, known as EBBD.
The EBBD is awarded as proof of strong international competence. The certificate is currently available in countries such as Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Spain, and Hungary.
Students in Finnish-language programmes can also complete the EBBD certificate by choosing courses from the Vocational Qualification in Business programme.
Requirements for the EBBD certificate
The certificate requires an overall high level of competence. Proficiency in two foreign languages is also required. One is typically English (level B2 in the CEFR framework) and the other, for example, Swedish or another language (level B1).
In addition, the recipient must either work in business-related tasks or study abroad for at least four weeks. This can be completed through an international workplace learning period, supported by the school’s strong company networks abroad.
Students who complete the EBBD level are expected to demonstrate teamwork skills, problem-solving abilities, and responsibility.
