Basically, you have a free choice at which school type you want to register your child. Pupils aged 16-18 should seek advice on which type of school is suitable for them. The school supervision at the Senator for children and education in Bremen (https://www.bildung.bremen.de/sixcms/detail.php?gsid=bremen117.c.5309.de) or the school office in Bremerhaven (https://www.bremerhaven.de/de/verwaltung-politik/buergerservice/adressen-Offnungszeiten/schulamt.22497.html) help with the consultation. The Central Consultation Office for Vocational Training (https://www.bildung.bremen.de/zentrale_beratung_berufsbildung-17768) advises on the choice of a vocational school.
