The system

What an Ausbildung actually is

It is not a course you pay for. It is a job with a training contract — classroom theory at a vocational school, paid practical work at a German company, and a nationally recognised qualification at the end.

You earn from month one

Your employer pays you a salary throughout, and it rises with each training year.

You pay no tuition

The training is funded by the state and your employer. Your costs are language tuition, documents, the visa and our fee.

It leads to skilled-worker status

On passing your final exams you are a recognised skilled worker, able to move to a work permit and onward toward permanent residency.

How we work

End-to-end placement

Four stages, and we tell you at each one whether it is realistic to continue.

Stage 01

Profile assessment

We audit your education, age and circumstances against what German employers actually accept — and say plainly if the answer is no.

Stage 02

Language and interviews

Structured preparation to B1, or B2 for healthcare, plus mock interviews with real employer questions.

Stage 03

Contract and visa

Certificate recognition, contract review before you sign, and the full embassy application file.

Stage 04

Arrival and settling in

Pre-departure briefing, accommodation help, and registration, banking and insurance once you land.

Straight answers

What you will actually be paid

Most agencies quote you the best-case figure. The real number depends on one thing: whether your employer is bound by a collective agreement. We check that before you sign.

Monthly gross apprenticeship pay in Germany

You may not need a blocked account

For company-based dual Ausbildung, the 2026 requirement is a training allowance of at least €1,048 gross per month. Where your contract meets that, it can serve as your proof of funds.

Many consultancy websites still tell applicants a blocked account is always mandatory. For this route, that is often simply not true — and it is worth knowing before anyone asks you to lock away a year of living costs.

Why Auzubi Global

We would rather turn you down than take your money

We assess before we accept

Not every profile can be placed. We tell you at the assessment stage, not after you have paid and spent a year on German.

Every fee in writing, upfront

Consultation and processing charges are stated before you commit. No stage-by-stage surprises.

Direct, not through sub-agents

We place through our own relationships with German employers and vocational schools, coordinated from Noida — so nobody adds a margin between you and the training company.

200+ students placed

Over the last two years, into paid training contracts with German companies.

Clarity first

Questions worth asking

If an agency will not answer these plainly, that tells you something.

Do I need to speak German?

Yes, and there is no way around it. Your vocational school and your workplace both operate entirely in German. B1 is the working minimum, and healthcare roles generally require B2. Anyone promising you a placement without German is not being straight with you.

Is there an age limit?

There is no legal upper age limit for an Ausbildung. In practice, employers hire most readily between 18 and 30, so that is the range we can place most reliably. Older candidates are not impossible, but we will tell you honestly how much harder it will be.

How much will I actually be paid?

It depends entirely on whether your employer is bound by a collective agreement. In firms that are, first-year pay averaged €1,117 a month gross in 2025. Firms that are not can legally pay the statutory minimum, which is €724 a month in 2026. Pay rises each training year in both cases. We tell you which kind of contract you are being offered before you sign.

Will I need a blocked account?

Often not. For company-based dual Ausbildung, the 2026 requirement is a training allowance of at least €1,048 gross per month — and if your contract meets that, it can serve as your proof of funds. Many sites still tell applicants a blocked account is always mandatory. For this route, that is frequently untrue.

What happens after I finish?

You qualify as a recognised skilled worker. Most trainees are kept on by the company that trained them, and you can convert to a standard work residence permit and begin the route toward permanent residency. Retention is common but not automatic — it depends on your performance and the company.

What does it cost?

The Ausbildung itself has no tuition fee — training is funded by the state and your employer. What you pay for is language tuition, document translation and recognition, the visa, and our consultation fee. We put every figure in writing before you commit to anything.
