The Gießen evening school is part of the nationwide network of evening schools, which have established themselves as educational institutions in the second educational path. These schools are aimed at adults who want to make up for their school leaving certificate. The lessons usually take place in the evening to meet the professional and private requirements of the participants. Preparations for school qualifications such as the Abitur, the technical college entrance qualification or medium maturity usually last between two and three and a half years, depending on the individual previous knowledge of the students. This enables many adults to develop new professional perspectives and to pursue their goal of life. Fernstudi.net describes the diverse possibilities that such institutions offer.
