alapképzettség
Alapképzettség is a Hungarian term meaning basic or foundational qualification. It refers to the minimum level of formal education or professional training required to perform a range of tasks in a given field. The term is used in education policy, labor market discourse, and vocational training to designate entry-level competence within a qualification system. It is distinct from higher-level or specialist qualifications and often corresponds to early stages of vocational education or apprenticeships.
In practice, alapképzettség may be earned through secondary-level vocational education, basic vocational training, or apprenticeship programs.
In Hungary, the concept sits alongside other levels of qualifications within the national and European framework.
Critically, the term underscores the importance of clearly defined, attainable entry qualifications that enable workforce mobility
