German term or phrase: Grundausbildung auf Niveau MBO4
Hi,

DECH:
Zum Studium wird in den Niederlanden zugelassen, wer zumindest eine abgeschlossene ***Grundausbildung*** ***auf Niveau*** HAVO oder ***MBO4*** vorweisen kann.

Draft EN translation:
Anyone who can provide evidence of having at least concluded secondary education at HAVO or ***basic vocational training-oriented education at MBO4 level*** is admitted to university in the Netherlands.

Is this already sufficiently precise or can this be translated significantly more accurately?

The English Wikipedia has the following information on the matter:

MBO
The MBO (middelbaar beroepsonderwijs; literally "middle-level applied education") is oriented towards vocational training. Many pupils with a VMBO-diploma attend MBO. The MBO lasts one to four years, depending of the level. There are 4 levels offered to students:[5]

MBO level 1: Assistant training. It lasts 1 year maximum. It is focused on simple executive tasks. If the student graduates, he/she can apply to MBO level 2.
MBO level 2: Basic vocational education. The programme lasts 2 to 3 years and is focused on executive tasks.
MBO level 3: The programme lasts 3 to 4 years. Students are taught to achieve their tasks independently.
MBO level 4: Middle Management VET. It lasts 3 to 4 years and prepares for jobs with higher responsibility. It also opens the gates to Higher education.
At all levels, MBO offers 2 possible pathways: a school-based education, where Training within a company takes between 20 and 59% of the curriculum, or an apprenticeship education, where this training represents more than 60% of the study time. Both paths lead to the same certification.[5] Students in MBO are mostly between 16 and 35. Students of the "apprenticeship" path are overall older (25+).[5] After MBO (4 years), pupils can enroll in HBO or enter the job market. Many different MBO studies are typically offered at a regionaal opleidingen centrum (ROC; literally "regional education center"). Most ROCs are concentrated on one or several locations in larger cities. Exceptions include schools offering specialized MBO studies such as agriculture, and schools adapted to pupils with a learning disability that require training in small groups or at an individual level.

Prior education to MB04 level


Explanation:
It looks like level 04 is no longer basic vocational training, but rather middle-level. If you translate "Grundausbildung" as "prior" education rather than "basic", then it should be clear enough.

"Minimum eligibility requirements for university education in the Netherlands are completed senior secondary school education (HAVO), or a vocational qualification of MBO level 4."
