Extremely confusing explanation of class levels

Terminale BEP
The last year of the BEP, a two-year specialized technical degree which allows students to enter the workforce without continuing their studies until the BAC.
Last year, they were in Seconde BEP (and before Seconde, they were in middle school).
Next year, they can go to work or continue with the Première Adaptation BAC Pro.
Première Adaptation BAC Pro
A class of "adaptation" students who have the BEP and who then decided to continue their studies in order to get the Professional BAC. This is separate from the more general students who have come directly from middle school and have not done the BEP (Première BAC Pro), because they are usually older and less motivated.
Last year, they were in Terminale BEP.
Next year, they will be in Terminale BAC Pro.
Terminale BAC Pro
The second and last year for the Professional BAC.
Last year they were either in the Première Adaptation BAC Pro (if they had to be "adapted" from the BEP) or in the Première BAC Pro (if they did more traditional general studies).
Next year they can enter the workforce, go to the university, or go for a BTS degree.
Première année BTS
Students working for the BTS technical degree, equivalent to some trade schools. Some have come from the BAC Pro, some from the general BAC
Last year, they were in Terminale BAC Pro or the general Terminale BAC in a general school, or they were working.
Next year, they will be in the Deuxième année BTS.
Deuxième année BTS
Second and last year of the BTS degree.
Last year, they were in Première année BTS.
Next year, they can go into the workforce with a technical degree. There may also be opportunities to specialize their craft with further studies.
