Ausbildung in Germany
Germany is globally recognized for its world-class vocational education system – Ausbildung. This unique dual training program blends classroom learning with hands-on experience, preparing students for high-demand careers across a variety of industries. At NEF Global, we help Indian students take the first step toward a successful future by guiding them through the Ausbildung journey in Germany.
What is Ausbildung?
Ausbildung is Germany’s dual vocational training system where students split their time between classroom theory (Berufsschule) and paid practical work at a training company. Programs last 2 to 3.5 years, and upon completion, trainees earn an officially recognized qualification (Gesellenbrief) that is highly respected across Europe.
Whether you’re interested in healthcare, IT, engineering, business, or skilled trades, Ausbildung offers a gateway to a debt-free, practical, and secure career.
