Ausbildung is a dual vocational training programme lasting around 2–3.5 years: theory at a vocational school and practical training at a company, with a training contract and a monthly training allowance paid by the company. It suits people who have at least completed upper secondary school, are in good health and are ready to study German seriously. Commonly recruited fields include nursing, restaurant and hotel work, mechanical engineering and electrical work.
Most Ausbildung programmes require at least B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference; some fields such as nursing, or some companies, require B2. Commonly accepted certificates are Goethe, telc or ÖSD. Complete beginners usually need around 8–12 months of intensive study to reach B1, depending on ability and study time.
Costs usually include: German language tuition and certificate exam fees, translation and notarisation of documents, assessment and visa fees, air tickets, insurance and initial living expenses. KPV publishes a specific cost table for each programme, with a contract and clear payment receipts.
Yes. Ausbildung trainees receive a monthly training allowance under their contract with the company; the amount varies by occupation, federal state and year of training. Trainees may also take on part-time work within the limits permitted by German law. The specific amount is stated in the training contract.
After completing an Ausbildung, graduates may apply to switch to a residence permit for employment if they have a job that matches their field of training, in accordance with Germany’s skilled immigration regulations. The outcome depends on the application and the decision of the competent authority; KPV makes no commitment regarding visas, employment or income.
