: ''For the district of Dunaújváros, see Technikum'' Technikum (; Ukrainian: те́хнікум; Polish: technikum) was an institute of vocational education in countries in the former Soviet bloc. A mass-education facility of "special middle education" category 1 step higher than PTU, but aimed to train low and middle level (depending on profile) industrial managers, foremen, coordinators, technical supervisors etc. or specializing in occupations that require skills more advanced than purely manual labor, especially in high-tech occupations (such as electronics). This category remained in use in post-USSR republics. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union many technikums in CIS countries were renamed to colleges. After graduation from a technikum/college, a student may apply to an institution of higher learning (i.e. university) as a freshman. ==Poland== A student finishing the second level of compulsory education (gimnazjum) has to choose between three types of schools: * liceum ogólnokształcące (high school, 3 years), designed mainly for those who want to pass matura and begin higher studies, * zasadnicza szkoła zawodowa (vocational school, 3 years), designed for those who want to start working immediately after finishing their compulsory education, * technikum (professional technical school, 4 years), after which students have both qualifications to start working and possibility to pass matura and begin studies. * Technikum - 5 years (part of which is an apprenticeship in different branches of Engineering, to gain broad skill set) : Advanced Vocational Technical High School of Mechanical Engineering, finishing with A levels, ending with National Diploma in Precision Engineering and Control system Engineering: closest equivalent (degree? ) would be an Engineering Technologist. Technikum, unlike purely vocational school, covers additional knowledge of general subjects, with much more advanced Mathematics,Physics and Chemistry, in comparison to ''liceum ogólnokształcące - standard college ''. The amount of professional knowledge is also extended with respect to vocational school and includes lab testing and design. People who have finished ''technikum'' and have passed the final exams (organized by an external, state unit - ''Centralna Komisja Egzaminacyjna'' - ''Central Examination Committee'') in their profession obtain a title consisting of the word ''technik'' and the profession they have learnt (for example ''technik elektryk'' - ''electrical industry technician''), where the word ''technician'' (''technik'') cannot be used by those who finished three-year vocational school. Their title contains only the name of profession, for example ''elektryk'' (''electrician'').
