Germany with KPV: Study abroad · Vocational training

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.
