Dual vocational training
Dual vocational training (e.g. in nursing) is a unique form of on-the-job training. It combines practical training in a company or workplace with theoretical education at a vocational school (Berufsschule). Typically, individuals spend one or two days a week at the vocational school, where they learn the theoretical foundations of their chosen profession. The remaining days are spent working in a company, gaining practical experience and applying the knowledge learned in the classroom. This type of training has many advantages:
- You will gain a lot of practical experience. This will give you an ideal start into your professional career.
- You will earn money right from the beginning of your training. Companies will pay you a salary that is generally sufficient to cover your living costs. The salary increases with every year of training.
- You have good chances of being offered a permanent job after completing your vocational training. Many companies look for trainees and skilled workers with vocational qualifications.
Commonly, dual vocational training has a duration of 2 to 3.5 years and begins in September.
