May be CHOOSEN??? Oh, dear ... It's Act, not Law. 'Occupation' refers to 'employment', not to 'profession', thus plainly is wrong.

The hazards of relying on dicos! It's Act where Gesetz is a statute on the book, and 'occupational' is not used like that in English: it does not imply 'Beruf' but 'employment'.

The comment of John Kinory might be right in itself but if you want the correct English term for the German term "Berufsbildungsgesetz" my suggestion is correct. For more details of its contents and purposes I suggest using the Internet.

LOL. Now you are grading yourself as 'correct'??? My comments stand - your English is incorrect, and the Internet is irrelevant.

Probably because it's correct :-)) It's training, indeed, and using 'education' to translate Ausbildung in this context is the mark of a non-native speaker (as is using 'law' to translate 'Gesetz' here).

More Gerlish, I fear. The term is Act.

John Kinory is a harsh judge and seems to comment on everything and seems infallible, however, the term 'vocational education law' is in worldwide in fairly wide actual use, including variations such as law of... and the term education law is used in Australia as well. So, again depending on context, sometimes more than one translation is possible! (If you know the answer on everything, John, why these forums?)

I do not need your permission to comment on plainly wrong answers. I visit this forum when I receive an email informing me of a question: does that meet with your approval? No? Tough. Since you can't even write idiomatic English (it's the answer TO everything, not ON everything), what are you doing translating into English?

Well, John Kinory, I knew you'd stumble over my 'on', which was an oversight on my part. If you are right, then hundreds of others, having used 'vocational education law' are also wrong. This could of course be the case. My real drift was that if you know everything, why don't YOU PROVIDE the proper translations to these terms rather than just commenting on those of others. That would be a good shortcut to vocational advancement!
