Rather unnoticed by education and transition research, there are private schools in the Swiss vocational education and training system that offer courses in basic vocational education and training and vocational baccalaureate programmes against payment of school fees. In contrast to the public and company-based programmes at upper secondary level, these private schools do not know any grade-based admission requirements or company selection logic. Based on an empirical analysis of problem-centered interviews with 27 students, this article explores for the first time the motives and background of students who pay school fees for basic vocational education and training and for the vocational baccalaureate.
