Before you apply
What is hard about this route
These are the longest programmes at 3.5 years, and the technical German vocabulary is heavy going in the first year. Workshops are noisy, physical environments.
What you will be paid
We do not publish a figure for this sector, because no primary source reports reliable per-sector apprentice pay. Nationally the statutory minimum is €724 a month in 2026, and the first-year average among collectively bargained employers was €1,117 in 2025.
Which of those you get depends on whether your employer is bound by a collective agreement. We check that and tell you before you sign anything.
