Work in Germany
Ausbildung in Germany
Ausbildung is Germany’s vocational-training route, available in company-based and school-based formats. A valid training place, suitable German ability and evidence that living costs are covered are central to the visa pathway.
What Ausbildung involves
Qualified vocational training combines structured occupational learning with practical training. Company-based programmes normally include paid practical training; school-based programmes can have different funding arrangements.
Visa essentials
- A specific vocational-training place in Germany
- German language skills appropriate to the training; B1 is normally required for the vocational-training visa unless language ability has been otherwise accepted
- Evidence that living costs are secured for the period of stay
- A complete national-visa application and supporting documents
Finding a training place
Applicants should treat the training contract as an employer-selection process, not as a guaranteed placement. We help with profile preparation, German-language planning, application documents and visa readiness.
After training
Successful graduates may have further residence options for qualified employment and, after meeting the relevant conditions, longer-term residence. These outcomes depend on the law in force and the individual case.
