WHY AUSBILDUNG?

Ausbildung is one of the best pathways to build a career in Germany while studying and working at the same time. The program offers free education with no tuition fees, along with a monthly stipend from the first month onwards throughout the training period. With practical training, industry experience, and strong job opportunities, Ausbildung helps students build a stable future in Germany with potential salaries ranging from €2000 to €3500 after completion.

In short

Ausbildung is Germany's vocational training system. In company-based (dual) training you study at a vocational school and train at a company, which pays a monthly training allowance; some school-based programmes are not paid. It ends with a recognised qualification. Popular fields for students from Kerala include nursing, hospitality and technical trades. You need German, usually at B1 or B2 level depending on the employer.

Ausbildung in Germany: frequently asked questions

Is Ausbildung in Germany paid?

Yes. In a company-based Ausbildung the employer pays trainees a monthly training allowance (Ausbildungsvergütung). The amount depends on the occupation, the region and the year of training. Some school-based programmes work differently, so check the terms of each training offer.

Do I need to know German for Ausbildung?

Yes. Classes at the vocational school and work at the company are in German, so a good command of German is needed. Training companies and the visa office ask for a recognised German language certificate.

Can I work in Germany after completing Ausbildung?

Yes. After an Ausbildung you hold a recognised German vocational qualification, and you can apply for a residence permit to work in Germany as a skilled worker in a job that matches your training.
