Ausbildung in Germany — Learn German, Train and Earn
Ausbildung is Germany's paid vocational training. Over two to three years you train inside a company, attend vocational school and earn a training salary from your first month. It ends with a state-recognised qualification and a real career path in Germany.
We prepare you in India and, where your package includes it, our Germany-based team supports you on the ground.
What is Ausbildung?
Dual training — work and study at the same time.
Dual training
You learn in a company and at a vocational school at the same time — practical skills and theory together.
2–3 years
Duration depends on the occupation. You receive a training salary throughout — typically around €1,000–€1,600 gross per month.
Recognised qualification
You receive the same state-recognised qualification as German trainees — a real career foundation in Germany.
