trade/apprentice type high school gen.

[Andrew-Translator]

trade/apprentice type high school
это техникум?
профессионально-техническое учебное заведение?

Контекст:
Therefore, my Bachelor Degree of Engineering equivalence, was not based solely upon my formal vocational trade education, but was also based upon my progressive work experience in addition to my years at the trade/apprentice type high school

Спасибо!

IMHO ПТУ. Т.к. после техникума раньше поступали на 2-й или 3-й курс ВУЗов
