In Germany, vocational training is designed to teach you everything you need to succeed in a real profession. At the end of the program, you receive an official diploma that is recognized nationwide.

In Germany, you can choose from several types of vocational training:

• Learning mainly at school
• learn in a company,
• or mix school + company in an alternating system.
  The choice mainly depends on what you want to do later and the job that interests you.

The most famous training in Germany is called the dual system.

It's simple :

➡️ For part of the week, you are at the company,

➡️ The other part of the week is spent at school for theoretical courses.

You therefore learn your future profession in real life, directly on the job.

The training lasts between 2 and 3.5 years, and thanks to this practical experience, you are quickly ready for the job market.

Doing vocational training in Germany opens many doors :

• Companies are actively looking for motivated young people, so finding a job afterwards is easier.
• You gain real-world experience, which employers truly value.
• Many apprentices are hired directly by the company where they completed their training.

In short, it’s a system designed to help you succeed in your professional life and give you a solid future.

Vocational training typically begins on  1st  August  or 1st September .

In the company, you take part in real tasks of the profession.

Depending on the training program, the organization varies :

• Either school and company every week,
• Or divided into longer periods.
  It’s a pace that allows you to progress quickly and really understand your future profession.
