Everything you need to know about Ausbildung
Ausbildung in Germany is a unique system which allows students from non-EU countries to work and train in German companies as apprentices while learning a trade or profession in a training institute.
Ausbildung programmes in Germany have been developed historically out of the medieval guild system.
This is not new to young people in Germany, as many enter the working market through the apprenticeship system.
Over 500,000 new apprenticeships (Ausbildung) contracts are concluded every year by various companies in Germany. 
What is Ausbildung in Germany?
Ausbildung in Germany for foreigners is a vocational training program in Germany and is known as an Apprenticeship in the English language.
Once accepted as an Ausbildender by a German company, your Ausbildung training will be divided into two parts:
First, you will be contacted by a German employer/company where you’ll be in a work placement as an apprentice.
Secondly, you’ll be affiliated with a vocational training school, also known as Berufsschule in the German language, where you will attend training classes.
You need to attend both places, and you must divide your time for that based on your apprenticeship period.
For example, suppose you are in an Ausbildung in a hotel. In that case, you must work for three days in any assigned department to gain practical experience and the remaining days in the training institution.
Your assigned departments can change, as you’ll be asked to work for one month in housekeeping, one month in room service, and one month in the front office to get the overall experience in the hotel management job.
For the remaining two days of your week, you’ll participate in your vocational training school (Berufsschule), where you’ll study your assigned category and technicalities.
Your vocational training school will conduct your exams like midterms and final exams.
Your final Ausbildung score will include grades from your company and vocational training school.
The company will give you grades according to your work and training school according to your exam performance.
Now, let’s discuss how long this training will last.
Duration of Ausbildung Program in Germany
Usually, the Ausbildung program lasts three years, but if your grades are reasonable based on your performance in the company and vocational training school, you can reduce this period.
But it doesn’t make any significant difference, as you can reduce three to 2.5 years, so it hardly matters.
Time duration usually depends on various factors, like which company you work for, which department you are assigned, and from which vocational training school you are studying.
But one crucial thing you badly require to be eligible for the Ausbildung program is German language skills.
Language Requirement For Ausbildung in Germany
The language used in the vocational training school is German. They conduct all exams in German.
Also, your work placement and practical training in the company will be in German.
Sometimes, there could be English-speaking people also participating in the training. But usually, the communication in the workplace is in the German language.
The most important prerequisite that most companies check for hiring apprentices from other countries is German language knowledge and communication skills at the required level.
Over 90% of the companies (with apprenticeships) stated that language skills are necessary to complete a training course. (Source–DIHK survey)
So, you must have better German language skills to meet the language requirements for an Ausbildung programme in your desired field of occupation. That is a B2 level!
If you are fluent enough in the language, even a B1 will be perfect sometimes; because the requirement is one must have good communication skills to follow the programme.
One of the critical questions that can arise in your mind after going through all these details may be:
Education Requirement For Ausbildung in Germany
If you are non-European, and from a country like India, you must have a 12th-grade (senior secondary) school examination pass certificate. This is the minimum academic qualification required for an Ausbildung programme in Germany.
Those with higher level qualifications achieved after the 12th-grade school education, e.g., diploma or degree, can apply.
Most companies and training institutions maintain 30 as the maximum age criteria and 17+ as the minimum age.
Immigration departments or German state governments set no stipulated maximum age. It depends on the hiring employer/company.
How can a Non-EU citizen apply for Ausbildung in Germany?
Currently, around 330 occupations require formal training in Germany and businesses that participate in the dual training scheme consider vocational training the best form of personnel recruitment.
There is a growing awareness across Europe and worldwide that excellent work-based vocational education and training are vital for competitiveness and social participation.
Let’s go through some questions about how to apply for the Ausbildung program as a non-EU applicant.
What documents are required for non-EU citizens to apply for an Ausbildung in Germany? (Requirements for Ausbildung in Germany)
You need two essential documents for applying for Ausbildung in Germany:
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
This is your first requirement, and your CV should be brief. It should include precise education details, work experiences (only if applicable), etc.
- A statement of purpose or a motivation letter
This is a significant opportunity to show you as a more suitable and motivated candidate.
- Certified or attested work experience letter/s
If you have worked in the relevant field of your chosen occupation will influence your candidature for the career you are applying for.
- School certificates, diplomas or/and Degrees
Some companies might ask you to provide a German-translated version of your certificates mentioned above.
A notary public could do the certifications in your country.
Why do you need these documents?
Now you know you can start an Apprenticeship (Ausbildung) after 12th grade, depending on the requirements of the specific company you’re applying to.
Your school leaving certificates are compared to the German equivalent, i.e. Hauptschule or Realschule.
What monies and documents are required for a visa for Ausbildung in Germany?
If you apply for the Ausbildung visa, you need to have:
- A written confirmation or a contract by the training company/employer
- Sufficient money to maintain the cost of living in Germany for your stay until the Ausbildung and start receiving monthly stipends.
- Valid health insurance until the start of your vocational training.
Monthly stipend
Participants of Ausbildung are paid a monthly stipend by the company where they work and are trained. The allowance varies from 650 to 1400 EUR depending on the occupation one chooses.
How to apply for a visa application for Ausbildung in Germany?
Suppose you are serious about getting trained in your desired occupation and excited to be in one of the best countries in the world. In that case, you need to have a good grasp of German and all the necessary documents to get your Ausbildung visa approved.
So, if we sum it up, being a non-EU citizen, you have to follow these steps for joining the vocational training in Germany:
- Get school-leaving and other certificates recognised and translated
- Learn the German language and achieve B1/B2 level
- Attend interviews with the Employers/companies interested in your application
- Receive an offer and training contract
- Apply for a visa

FAQ
You will need a school passing certificate/diploma/degree to be eligible for Ausbildung in Germany.
Yes! You get a monthly stipend during your Ausbildung programme in Germany.
You can start working in the occupation you trained immediately after completing your training or apply for a ‘job seeker’s visa’, stay back, and look for jobs.
Once got a job and have worked for two years, you will be considered eligible for a PR.
Ausbildung is a vocational diploma added with work experience.
No tuition fees are required for any Ausbildung program.
The minimum age limit to enrol is 17+. The German state Governments have not set the highest age limit for Ausbildung. Hence, it depends on the participating employer and the vocational training institution to decide on it.
B2 level is required for Ausbildung.
Still, it’s up to the employer to decide, as many are accepted with the B1 level.
A B1 level is mandatory for the consulates to accept a visa application from an Ausbildung trainee applicant for a visa.
You can attend a university after Ausbildung and gain a bachelor’s or master’s degree based on your current academic qualifications.
The answer to this question is a big NO! Every Ausbildung programme in Germany is German, and you need to know German.
You can put the answer in a way where, after you complete nursing Ausbildung in Germany, you become a Registered nurse (after clearing the exam). Once you are a registered nurse in Germany, you are qualified to work globally.
Nursing Ausbildung in Germany is officially the highest paid profession, with 1200 to 1300 euros during the first year of Ausbildung.
After Ausbildung in Germany, you can expect anywhere less than 2000 to 2400 euros per month, as Germany strictly follows a minimum wage policy.
- An Ausbildung programme will lead to a vocational qualification with hands-on experience.
- A dual degree Ausbildung programme will result in a degree with practical experience.
Yes! Non-EU citizens can participate in Ausbildung from the Skilled Immigration Act, 2020, introduced in March of the same year!
The occupation or programme that you are overly passionate about and heartfelt about is the best Ausbildung programme!

Dear Ahmed, as you know, Ausbildung is taught in German, and the language used at work placement during Ausbildung is also German! For occupations like nursing, Hotel Management, or Culinary Arts (Chef), you must achieve at least a b1 level. That means we will teach and prepare you to sit an approved test and pass.
Once you pass, only an Ausbildung program-providing employer will interview. they will check your interest, integrity, and communication before accepting you. We help our registered applicants with the Ausbildung interview as well.
Once accepted, a training contract will be issued with the terms and conditions of the Asbuldung program, which could be used to apply for a visa. We help our applicants during this process as well.
In which countries we can get job in after completing ausbildung?
Hello Janu Naunyal,
Ausbildung’s concept is to train people in the workplace to meet the skilled worker shortage in Germany! Therefore, it’s better to work for a couple of years in Germany after Ausbildung and consider looking for jobs in other countries if you plan later.

Hello, my name is Temur. And I have a bachelor degree in English studies faculty. Now studying in master degree. I am interested in doing an Ausbildung in teaching and education. So how should I proceed?
Thanks.
Dear Temur,
I can help you apply for an Ausbildung programme, but you must learn German at least at a B1 level.
But my suggestion would be to consider a master’s degree in English literature or something like that, as that would be the better progression for you considering your academic background.
Hello, I want to do an Ausbildung in Physiotheraphy and I would like to know if I can proceed to masters degree after the ausbildung?

Ausbildung is a vocational program, not an academic one.
You may get some credit points for your Ausbildung studies in the same subject that is for your prior knowledge in the subject and that qualify you to get admission directly to the second or third semester of the Master’s degree.
Hi I have a degree of masters in computer science. I’ve done IELTS in b2 level. I want to know that without a germen language course only having IELTS is possible to apply for ausbildung.
Hi,
Thank you for reaching out. While having an IELTS certification is beneficial, but Ausbildung programs in Germany require at least a B1 level of German proficiency. I recommend considering a German language course to enhance your application prospects.
Heloo, I’m Archana
I’m a +12th std student. After 3 months i will complete my studies. I want to study a bsc nursing at germany.
And i am a middle class girl,
I want to know about the amount that wants to take a B2 level german language ima coaching centre and the pay ments of pass port and visa
Dear Archana,
Pursuing BSc in nursing in Germany is costlier than the Ausbildung route for nursing studies.
BSc nursing demands a foundation course completed before considering to start attending the course.
Therefore it works like this; you will migrate to Germany, learn the German language up to the C1 level, and attend a Medical Foundation/preparatory/Studienkolleg.
The A1-C1 level German language course is for nine months and costs 8700.EUR ( but on your arrival, if you have some communication levels, for each level, you know, e.g., A1/A2 level, 900.EUR per level is refunded.
The Foundation course costs 6500.EUR.
All the monies mentioned above are for tuition fees alone.
You must have another 11208.EUR to cover your cost of living.
But the Ausbildung route is cheaper regarding the overall cost and the total duration of the course.
It starts like you learn German in India up to B1/B2.
You should receive your training contract and apply for a visa.
Arrive in Germany, and start the apprenticeship training to become a nurse specialist.
The course duration is three years.
In this programme, you will receive a monthly stipend for the entire duration.
Since the stipend in Ausbildung is good enough to meet your living expenses, you don’t need to have the 11208.EUR money with you while applying for a visa.
If you ask how much it will cost you, you must have an estimate of INR.6 lakhs maximum, which will cover the language learning, visa assistance, documentation, consultancy fees, post-arrival fees in Germany etc plus that will cover at least 2000.EUR in your position while arriving in Germany for your initial expenses in Germany until you start receiving your first month stipend.
I hope it helps, and if you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Hi I’m 38 years old, I have level 6 diploma in pre-primary education. Do you know where I perhaps can learn the German language for free or on a cheaper price?

Now I do not understand if I have a chance to enter with B1? companies answer my question in this way – eine klare und gute deutsche Ausdrucksweise in Wort und Schrift. So its not yes or no
i can receive a Goethe-Zertifikat B2 with bad score only in the end of december. But im scared that at that time there will be no free places

I have 8 years of home based teaching experience (personal academy where I am still teaching the children of my village). please let me know is I am eligible for Ausbildung training programs?
please also help me in finding the best option of occupation which I should opt for training.
Hi, Ausbildung requires a senior secondary school education and German language knowledge. You cannot start with a teaching job in Germany!
Please look at the information in the link and choose an ideal programme yourself. Your interest and passion for an occupation matter more when choosing an Ausbildung programme!
hi
is there any difference between applying for Ausbildungs with bachelor degree or diploma in subsidy or after ausbildung salary?
Hi Ausbildung requires a senior secondary school education. If you have more academic or professional qualifications that is good but that will not have any influence on your salary after Ausbildung!
After completing your full ausbildung training, will you able to work outside of germany? Or is the certificate only valid for Germany? And you can join an ausbildung with just a high school education right?
Hi,
A senior secondary education is a must for Ausbildung.
Ausbildung leads to German state-accredited vocational qualification that is accepted by employers across the country. Once you qualified with an Ausbildung training and worked for a couple of years in Germany, employers around the world will recognise your qualifications and skills.
Hello
I have bachelor degree in dental medicine i am 27 years old
I am A2 level in German language i am asking about Ausbildung in health sector chances.
Dear Dr Mohammed,
The Doctors’ Programme would be ideal for your qualifications as the programme will help you to prepare and qualify for a provisional/temporary license to work as an assistant dentist or dentist under supervision for two years before you prepare, sit and pass the German state dental licensing exam for a permanent license.
Hi, I am a Mechanical Engineer graduate and have some internship experience and I am also excellent in English and basic knowledge of German. How can I proceed in Ausbildung and which process will suit me?
Also, I am interested to have my Masters in Plant Engineering or HVAC Engineering from germany.
Thanks,
Mudasar
Hello Mudasar,
A master’s degree would be ideal for your current qualifications. Migrating to Germany, and learning the language in the German environment is more significant as German language skills act as the KEY to success for any international student in Germany in their future academic and professional career.
I would be happy to have a voice chat or face-to-face online meeting to discuss this further.

Hi, that is fine, as the university to which you applied generally will get back to you asking for the translated documents if required.
Hi it’s me again. I have applied to almost 20 schools yet they all rejected me. Is it something I should do in particular? Or do you know schools that easily accept foreigners? I wish to find a school for next year April academic year
Hello,
Thank you for the informations you provide,
I’m currently living in Hungary but I have my 12-year graduation from Iran I’m trying to apply for an ausbildung in Germany from here.
From what I’ve heard before applying to companies I need to send my certificates to the state in which the company is so they can verify it.
what documents do they need from me?
How do I send them my documents ( Post or just upload )?
Can I send them the English translation or do I have to translate it to German no matter what ?
thanks
All Ausbildung program providers look for a high school completed certificate and a German language test passed certificate as primarily required documents.
You will only know how to send it to them while applying for an Ausbildung program.
can i join university while ausbildung is on the way, and leave the ausbildung?
Hello Zarsham,
You can progress to a university program after completing an Ausbildung program, not in the midst of it.
Hi Sir,
I am Sohid from Bangladesh
Completed 10 th Standard recently.
Will I eligible for Ausbildung after B2 level or I need to complete 12 th Standard.
Also in which month in could apply for Ausbildung after B2 level
Dear Sohid,
One should have completed a senior secondary school education to qualify for the Ausbildung program, sorry.
I’m Sahar from Lebanon. I’m a second year student in English Literature . I’m 23 years old . When i read about Ausbildung program , I was curious to now more about it . I’m looking for more details about photography and film major and how i can apply to Ausbildung in Germany ?
Dear Sahar,
Ausbildung in Germany has a lot of interest in high school leavers worldwide.
The academic qualification required for any occupation training under Ausbildung is a 12th-grade / senior secondary school education pass.
Please remember that Ausbildung in Germany is offered only in German; hence, at least a B1/B2 level in the language is essential to convince a program-providing employer.
Hello,
I came from Afghanistan and I’m BSc graduate (Civil Engineering) I currently live in germany and in october 2023 I have recieved my B1 certificate with good grades.
Right now I’m confused between ausbildung in IT which is my first love or continuing in Civil which I have interest in it but not too much.
Can you please tell me which one is better Ausbildung in IT or continue BSc in university ?
Waiting dor your reply
Hi, I think Ausbildung in IT would be better since you will be at work from the first month onwards and after three years you will be a qualified and skilled IT Specialist.
hi does the companies mostly accept married persons?
Hi, if you are referring to vocational/apprenticeship training called Ausbildung in Germany, there is no problem as a married person as per the information available.
I am 41 years old currently.can I do ausbildung??
Generally, the employers providing Ausbildung prefer young people between 18 and 30. However, the age limit is not mentioned anywhere as far as visa and immigration departments are concerned. Therefore, you can apply, and it depends on whether the program provider accepts you or not!
hi can can i apply for hospitality with grade 10 results but i also have other qualifications in the hospitality industry plus i have a b1 level
Hello Joel,
As an international applicant, the Ausbildung Employers offering the apprenticeship training/Ausbildung look for a senior secondary school education. That is the same for the consulate as well;
they ask for a higher secondary school education while applying for a visa under the category of Ausbildung!
Is there a difference in undergoing Ausbildung in small companies compared to large corporations?
Yes, N Ajeesha, there are differences between undergoing Ausbildung in small companies and large corporations. In small companies, training might be more personalized, and you could gain a broader range of experiences due to the varied tasks. In contrast, large corporations often offer more structured programs, possibly with more resources and opportunities for specialization. Both environments have unique benefits; your choice might depend on your career goals and learning preferences.
Is there any age criteria for Ausbildung participants or is it open to all ages ?
Hello Arun,
Ausbildung programs in Germany typically welcome participants of various ages, but the most common age range for starting an Ausbildung is between 16 and 30.
While there is no strict upper age limit, younger applicants might be more commonly found in these programs due to the traditional pathway of entering vocational training straight after compulsory education. However, older candidates are also considered for certain fields and under specific circumstances, especially in sectors facing skill shortages or for programs designed to accommodate career changers.
It also depends on the specific requirements of the Ausbildung program you’re interested in, as some employers or fields might have their preferences or regulations regarding age.
Hello KCR,
Guten Tag! I am from India and have 12th Passing certificate with 60% grade in year 2010. Since then i am working as a diamond Planner in Diamond polishing and cutting company. I have a 14 year experience in that. Now i wanted to move to Germany on the basis of Ausbildung or if i get direct job there on the basis of my Labor work experience. For Ausbildung, could you please suggest me that which one is best to persue? I am a 32 year old. Is the Ausbildung in the field of mechatronics is good? Plaese help me. I am learning now A1. Can i make it to this October intake? Thanks for your guidance.
Dear Rehan,
A direct job would have been better for you since you have many years of work experience. But more than your 12th-grade school education qualification will be needed. Technically, an approved 3-year diploma or a degree is the requirement!
An Ausbildung program would be ideal.
Again, generally, the vocational training providers in Germany look for new applicants under their 30s. But it does not have a clear No! So that you can have a better try after passing a B1 or B2 German language test!
Hello sir,
I am done with my bachelor’s in economics and masters in business administration and currently pursuing German A2 level I want to pursue ausbildung in IT can you suggest me some other professions other than nursing and hotel management
Hello Shlok,
We can look for Ausbildung in IT or sales.
You can also be considered for a direct job under skilled immigration if your German language skills are at the B2 level.
