Irish Equivalent to German Education

LizGalway

Hello!

I have a problem with finding a job and was wondering if it might be because companies/recruiters don't understand my education.

I am German and had all of my education in Germany. In my CV I listed all of that, but probably have the wrong description so they don't understand what I did and what I can do. Maybe someone of you can help me get a better translation?

I have Qualifizierender Hauptschulabschluss (Quali), Mittlere Reife and finished Vocational Education as a Legal Assistant with 3 years of dual training in a job in a Law Firm and Berufsschule. What would be the Irish equivalents to that?

I have lots of job experience that I could talk about, but for now I would just like to know if I can translate my education on the CV different/better.

Thanks very much for the help!

The vocational education was 3 years dual training school and job and my cert says Rechtsanwaltsfachangestellte which I would translate as Legal Assistant or Lawyer's Help. I have no idea what the equivalent for that is in Ireland. Thanks
