perustutkinnolla

Perustutkinnolla is the instrumental case of the Finnish term perustutkinto, used to describe doing something "with the basic qualification" or referring to a person who has earned a basic vocational qualification. In education and employment contexts the phrase signals a credential rather than a specific action. It is common in résumés, job advertisements, and official documents.

Perustutkinto, in the Finnish education system, refers to a basic vocational qualification. It is designed to provide practical skills and competences for working life and is awarded after a program that combines school-based study with practical training. The training may be carried out in vocational schools, training centers, or through apprenticeship and workplace learning. The qualification is nationally recognized and is intended to prepare graduates for entry into various occupations within a chosen field.

The basic vocational qualification covers defined areas of competence and is demonstrated through assessments that may include on-the-job demonstrations and theoretical tests. Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate confirming their qualification. The system aims to offer a clear pathway from education to employment and, where appropriate, to further education or additional qualifications through recognition of prior learning.

In practice, perustutkinnolla and perustutkinto are used across sectors such as construction, health and social services, technology, and hospitality. The term remains important in job postings, resumes, and educational credentials to indicate verified competence and readiness for work.
