The types of preparatory classes in higher vocational colleges can be mainly divided into ethnic minority preparatory classes and special style students preparatory classes. For ethnic minority preparatory classes, the enrollment targets are naturally mainly ethnic minorities, which need to meet the requirements of high school graduates and agricultural registered permanent residence.

The preparatory classes for stylistic majors mainly recruit candidates with outstanding stylistic skills and poor cultural foundation. Compared with the preparatory classes for ethnic minorities, the number of such preparatory classes is relatively small.

The main enrollment subjects of preparatory classes are liberal arts and science, and the admission scores will be lower than those of normal universities. However, the state stipulates that the relevant colleges and universities should not be less than the minimum score of 80 in the same batch of admission.

Although the focus of preparatory classes is to make up high school culture classes, the teaching purpose is different from that of ordinary high school cram schools, and the teaching content is also related to the future study of university majors.
