What is an Ausbildung in Germany?

The Ausbildung also known as the dual education system, is a distinctive feature of the German education system. It combines practical, on-the-job training in a company with theoretical education in a Berufsschule (vocational school). This concept has been highly successful in preparing young people for a wide range of careers and has contributed significantly to Germany’s strong economy and low youth unemployment rates. Unlike in other countries, apprentices are paid for the Ausbildung! 

Apprentices enrolled in the dual Ausbildung system usually spend one or two days per week in the vocation school (part time school), for the remaining time they are working at the company. Alternatively, they might undergo more extended periods of training at either location before switching (block school). In the vocational school apprentices have different classes that are related to the job, for example this could be chemistry, physics, mechatronics or project management.

The duration of the Ausbildung program varies with every job, usually they take between two and three and a half years. They finish with a final exam (Abschlussprüfung).

What our candidates say

My dream was always to do an Ausbildung in Germany. I found out about Acaluna through Facebook. At first I was skeptical because I didn't know the company. I applied and had a talk with a very nice lady (Mrs. Moll). They helped me to find an Ausbildung as Kfz-Mechatroniker in Germany this year. Thank you very much Acaluna!

How Acaluna helped Gabriel

Gabriel is 26 years old and comes from Brazil. He visited Germany for the first time 10 years ago when he participated in a school exchange program. He fell in love with the country because he really liked the German culture and the beautiful landscapes. In 2016 he decided to do an Ausbildung in Germany so he traveled to Germany for the second time. He tried to find an Ausbildung position himself, he applied to many companies but unfortunately it was too complicated and impossible due to the visa issue and the bureaucracy. So he returned to Brazil and started to work there.

Last year, Gabriel was lucky enough to find Acaluna through Facebook. He sent us his application and we were immediately impressed by his motivation and his good knowledge of German. Within a short time we were able to find him an Ausbildung position in a large German company.

Gabriel will start his Ausbildung in Germany in August 2024. In addition to a good salary, the company will also pay him Christmas bonus, vacation pay and support his professional development from the very beginning. The Acaluna team also supports Gabriel after his arrival in Germany and helps him with all bureaucratic issues. We look forward to welcoming Gabriel soon!
