Additionally, they also exist public IEKs of Ministry of Tourism[36] at which has hospitality and tourism specialties; of National Center for Emergency Care (EKAV);[37] of Ministry of Health;[38] of Public Employment Service (DYPA);[39][40][41][42][43][44][45] of Hellenic Agricultural Organization – DEMETER of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food.[46] There is also the IIEK Energy Institute of the Public Power Corporation (DEI) in Kozani.[47][48] Generally, public IEKs operate afternoon starting by 15:00 pm consisted of borrowing day secondary education school's buildings for their lecture classes, and for their laboratory classes consisted of borrowing laboratories owned and sponsored by individual companies, however, laboratories are offered to the IEK by priority order subject to change depending on availability.

IEK students are being assessed during the semester in the form of progress test (πρόοδος), and the final examination test (εξεταστική) taken and the end of the semester.

Ειδικής Αγωγής), specifically the Special Education Public IEK Pylaias-Chortiati[49][50] and Special Education Public IEK Agias Paraskevis,[51] also with the Joint Ministerial Decree Κ1/5082/14-1-2015 (Government Gazette 89/Β/19-1-2015) they founded the Special Education Public IEK Volou and Special Education Public IEK Serron.[52][53] With the law 4763/2020[3][54] they founded the Public Experimental IEKs (PEIDIEK) (ΠΕΙΔΙΕΚ, Πειραματικά Δ.Ι.Ε.Κ.) and Public Thematic IEKs (Θεματικά Δ.Ι.Ε.Κ.).[55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]

Admission

[edit]

Admission into an IEK’s programme requires adult-only applicants who have graduated from upper secondary education school in Greece[64][65][66][67][68][69][5][70][71] at National Qualification Framework (NQF) of Greece Level 4 (EQF 4; lyceum) or its international equivalent officially recognized by the Greek Ministry of Education.

Admission into a public IEK’s programme is selective, subject to fulfilling the entry criteria. It has to be granted on the basis of the upper secondary leaving certificate grade and other criteria include age, the social insurance stamps of applicants having prior employment relevant to the subject of the study applied for, and specific criteria on an individual basis will be assessed. All public IEKs are government-funded have free education, without any payment of tuition fee. Prescribed textbooks and some required materials are not provided by the public IEKs, and thus students (enrollees) will have to be purchased at their own cost, subject to the chosen specialty. The VAT number (ΑΦΜ, registration code for tax purposes) and SSRN (AMKA, Social Security Registration Number) are required from the student for its admission. Since its foundation in 1992, public IEKs were required by law from their students to pay up to €367 statutory tuition each semester until the 2012-2013 academic year, but has been apolished since the 2013-2014 academic year by Law 4186/2013, Chapter IV, Article 23(2), Government Gazette 193/Α/17-9-2013.[5] Admission into a private IEK’s programme is non-selective, meaning does not select its intake on the basis of academic achievement having an open enrollment for those who have graduated from senior secondary school without further admission requirements, since all most private IEKs they are for-profit IEKs financed primarily through tuition fees received from students.

As part of IEK curriculum, hence also being known as curricular practicum or 5th semester, IEK student must be complete a work placement.[72][64][73][74][75][76][77][78][79] The work placement is a paid contract CDD at an employment compulsory by law that is subsidized by the state. It can be an Internship (πρακτική) term:[80][81] 960 hours workplace’s work practice training considered upon 4th semester graduation or during 3rd or 4th semester; or it can be an Apprenticeship (μαθητεία) term: 192 hours Apprenticeship at IEK school (classes) 1 day per week with 8 hours per day and 768 hours Apprenticeship at a Work Placement 4 days per week with 8 hours per day considered upon fourth (4th) semester graduation,[72] unless otherwise is stated from the apprenticeship programme of study also known as Dual VET two-track education system (δυικό σύστημα επαγγελματικής εκπαίδευσης και κατάρτισης). Practical training, either internship or apprenticeship, can only be taken until the twenty four (24) months time limit since the IEK specialty fourth semester graduation.

However, the IEK programmes can also be offered with a shorter duration including 1200 hours at IEK school (classes) only for those students who having already obtained at least 120 social insurance stamps from working in employment corresponding to their IEK specialty, meaning it can to choose the right for exemption from a practical training.[74] Public ΙΕΚ school is not responsible for finding internships for its students, and it is determined individually by each public IEK student to find.[82]

The maximum number of students that can register in a given IEK Apprenticeship programme is up to thirty (30).
