Learn a Profession While Building Your Career
Every year, we meet students who ask us the same question.
“I have completed my 12th. I don’t want to spend another three or four years only studying. Is there any option where I can learn a skill, work with an employer, and build my future together?”
For many of them, a healthcare-related Ausbildung programme becomes one of the options worth exploring.
During the training period, there are days when candidates attend vocational school and days when they are at their workplace. Slowly, they become familiar with the profession, understand how the work is actually carried out, and gain confidence by doing the job under guidance. They also receive a monthly training allowance throughout the programme.
Completing an Ausbildung does not mean the learning stops there. For many candidates, it becomes the beginning of a skilled profession, opening opportunities to continue working, gain experience, and build a long-term career in Germany.

Is Ausbildung the Right Option for Me?
This is probably the first question students ask us.
There is no single answer because every student's situation is different.
Some students come after completing their 12th because they already know which profession they want to learn. Others only know that they want to build a future in Germany but are still deciding which healthcare profession would suit them better. We also meet students who have no interest in spending several more years only studying and would rather enter a profession where they can learn while becoming part of a real workplace.
That is why we always begin with the student's profile before talking about the available opportunities.

How the Ausbildung
Pathway Works
Ausbildung is usually a mix of workplace training and vocational school. Candidates do not only study the subject from books. They also spend time with an employer and learn how the profession is handled in daily work.
The exact process can change depending on the candidate’s profile, selected field, employer requirements, German language level, and visa conditions.
What Does the Training
Look Like?
Ausbildung is designed to help candidates become familiar with a profession step by step. During the programme, learning does not take place only at one location.
Depending on the profession and employer, candidates spend part of their time at vocational school and the remaining time receiving practical training at their workplace.
No one is expected to know everything on the first day. Candidates learn little by little as they become part of the workplace. With time, they understand the routine, the responsibilities, and the standards expected in their profession.
Throughout the training period, candidates receive a monthly training allowance as per the terms of their Ausbildung contract. The duration of an Ausbildung programme is generally around 2 to 3.5 years, depending on the profession and the applicable training regulations.

Important Things to Know
Before starting the process, please keep the following points in mind.
Ausbildung is a vocational training programme and not a university degree.
Candidates are expected to complete the training according to the conditions mentioned in their Ausbildung contract.
Language requirements, training duration, employer expectations, and the monthly training allowance can differ from one profession to another.
The monthly training allowance is commonly around €800 to €1,200 per month, depending on the profession, employer, and year of training. The actual amount will be mentioned in the Ausbildung contract.
For many company-based Ausbildung programmes, the monthly training allowance helps with visa financial requirements. However, additional financial proof may be required depending on the allowance amount and the candidate’s individual case.
Every employer follows its own recruitment process, so interview requirements and selection criteria may not be the same for every application.
Visa decisions are made only by the concerned authorities after reviewing the complete application.
