neutral  Chris Rowson (X): In AE (I think!), vocational school is used informally, but the colleges actually call themselves Technical College. They put both in their web-page keyword list. I am hoping a native will stop by and tell us more.

neutral  Barbara Schulten, MSc (OXON), DPSI: In UK students pass the examinations for NVQs (=national vocational qualifications) at Colleges, sometimes called Tertiary Colleges in comparison to Sixth Form Colleges (= Oberstufe)
