What is Ausbildung?
Iernship with an income of 500 to 1,200 euros per moh
More details
In Germany, Ausbildung is the term used for on-the-job training or appreiceship. After being admitted to the Ausbildung course, the stude will sign an Ausbildung coract with a company and will work in that company and earn money in addition to attending the school (Berufsschule) for 1 or 2 days. In this way, these studes gain both theoretical knowledge and first-hand practical experience by working in a company that is active in their desired career field.
Applicas take various courses in school that are related to their chosen career. Exams are taken from the courses preseed, and a passing grade in these exams is required for graduation. All courses and materials will be taught in German and therefore German language skills will be required.
While working in the company, you will collaborate with differe departmes to get to know differe aspects of your desired career. For example, you might work in sales for a while, then work in maienance, then io administration, then io warehouse, and so on.
Before starting Ausbildung, you have the opportunity to participate in a trial period called Praktikum. This course is organized by the company in question so that both they can evaluate your performance and you can see if you like this company or not. The length of the practicum period is differe for each company and can be between 2 weeks and 2 mohs. Of course, you will not receive salary during this period.
The amou of income during the Ausbildung period will depend on the selected course, but generally, in all courses, your income will increase annually. The reason for this salary increase is the increase in your skills level. The average income of Ausbildung in Germany is between 500 and 1200 euros per moh. This amou is your net income after deductions (taxes and insurance).
After completing your studies at the school, you must take an exam called the Zwischenprüfung, which is administered by the school. In addition, after completing the iernship, you must take the final exam known as the Abschlussprüfung. Both of these tests include a practical part and a theoretical part.
Studes can also coinue to work in the company where they completed their Ausbildung after graduation, obtain more degrees and certificates (for example, Master of Arts or study at a university), become self-employed, or go to another coury to find work.

Types of Ausbildung
1. Dual Ausbildung
Ausbildung with salary – the most popular type of Ausbildung
2. School of Ausbildung
Unpaid Ausbildung – more focus on theory training
More details
Ausbildung in Germany can be of two types: Duale Ausbildung (dual) and Schulische Ausbildung (educational). The former is much more common, because in Duale Ausbildung studes both earn money for their work and gain a lot of first-hand practical experience. But in scholastic ausbildung participas are not paid (with the exception of nursing ausbildung) and the training is more focused on the theoretical part.
Duale Ausbildung studes work 3 to 4 days a week and spend 1 to 2 days at school. Also, some Duale Ausbildung courses offer participas the possibility to study and work separately – in periods of several mohs – that is, participas study for a few mohs in school and then work for a few mohs.
Despite the fact that the courses at Schulische are mostly focused on theoretical training, some of them also include work in companies and organizations. If the chosen profession of the studes is of the type of Schulische Ausbildung and has practical training, they will attend class and work on a part-by-part basis. For example, they will study in school for 3 mohs and work in a company for 2 mohs. This structure allows studes to focus on only one aspect of their education at a time – whether academic or practical.
Jobs that require more practical training are generally preseed as Duale Ausbildung, and those jobs that require more theoretical knowledge are organized as Schulische Ausbildung. Some examples of jobs that are offered as Duale Ausbildung are salesperson, mechatronic specialist, clerk, industrial clerk, and the like. Of course, Schulische Ausbildung may also be offered for such jobs. Schulische Ausbildung courses are offered for medical and nursing jobs, teachers, speech therapy, physical therapy, machine operator, technical assistance, computer science, etc. Both types of Ausbildung last between 2 and 3 years depending on the chosen course.

Advaages of Ausbildung
- The possibility of studying and earning mohly income at the same time
- Acquiring a valid degree at the end of the course
- Ability to choose from 402 Ausbildung courses
- No university degree required
- Gaining German work experience during the course
- The possibility of employme in the workplace company
- One of the shortest routes to obtain a German passport
More details
In the Ausbildung course, you usually learn more skills in the Ausbildung course than in the academic courses. In addition, you also receive salaries and benefits from the company.
Your holidays will be the same as regular company employees (between 24 and 30 days per year), but you will only be allowed to use this leave when you are working, not when you are attending school. Another advaage of Ausbildung is that many of the instructors of these courses are working in the same profession and have real experience and can give you up-to-date training. Studes of Ausbildung courses can benefit from the practical and professional knowledge of more experienced colleagues.
One of the professional skills taught to studes through Ausbildung is the importance of handwork. Doing physical work in some occupations helps participas stay fit and healthy.
Ausbildung courses are changing the face of the coury’s economy by solving the problem of the lack of skilled labor in Germany. Because Ausbildung provides the possibility for studes to directly eer the knowledge gained in the classroom io their work environme and not worry about finding a job.
Those who did not go to university can also participate in German Ausbildungs and thus have the opportunity to learn professional skills in one of the best couries in Europe. Because Ausbildung courses do not require a university degree.
Studes of Ausbildung courses are considered employees of the company from the beginning and are assigned responsibilities and duties according to their growing abilities. If the company iends to offer the participas a work coract after the end of Ausbildung, the studes who have performed better will have a higher chance.
Considering that Ausbildung studes receive both practical and theoretical training of quality, they will be fully prepared to eer the labor market at a young age, and companies that have participated in the training of these individuals will be more inclined to hire them after the end of Ausbildung.

Necessary conditions
The language used in Ausbildung schools is German. All tests are held in German. In addition, the work you do in the company and your practical training will all be in German.

Having a diploma is the minimum educational qualification required to qualify for German Ausbildung courses. People who have higher educational qualifications – for example, pre-university or postgraduate – can also apply to study at Ausbildung.
Most companies and educational institutions consider the age of 25 as the maximum age of admission and the age of 18 as the minimum age for education.
Some companies may ask the applica for previous work experience. This issue is mostly seen in the Schulische Ausbildung courses, but it may also be considered as one of the required conditions in the Duale Ausbildung courses.
