Apprentices Program (Ausbildung)
Your pathway to a recognized profession through Germany’s dual training system
Germany’s Apprentices Program (Ausbildung) is a unique, state-recognized training model that combines paid practical work in a company with classroom learning at a vocational school.
You earn a salary, gain real work experience, and receive an EU-wide qualification – all with just a school diploma as your starting point.

Ausbildung or University – Which Path Is Right for You?
The key difference between an Ausbildung and a university degree lies in the learning style and career pathway.
An Ausbildung typically lasts 2.5 to 3 years, combines practical and theoretical training, and includes a monthly salary during the program. After completion, you can immediately enter the job market with a vocational qualification recognized across the EU.
A university degree, on the other hand, takes 3 to 5 years, is primarily theoretical, and usually does not offer financial compensation during studies. You enter the workforce only after graduation, with an EU-recognized academic degree.
An Ausbildung is ideal for hands-on learners who want to start working early. A university path is better suited to those who prefer an academic focus and deeper specialization.
Success Stories
