Ausbildung (or Duale Ausbildung) is a vocational education and professional training program (vocational school combined with on-the-job training) in Germany that lasts for three years. During the Ausbildung in Germany, participants typically attend school for two days a week to study theory, work three days a week for practical training, and have two days off (other schedules may also apply, depending on the policies of the company and the school). Participants study at a vocational school (Berufsschule) to learn theoretical subjects and undergo practical training at a company. The goal is to enable participants to learn their chosen field of expertise from the basics to an advanced level, gain experience, and acquire knowledge, so that after graduation they can pursue a career as a professional skilled worker.

After completing the three-year Ausbildung program, participants receive a certificate recognizing them as professionals in their field. Graduates are awarded the title of skilled worker (Fachkraft). They can work as permanent employees (Mitarbeiter) and are allowed to work in Germany for as long as they wish, even until retirement. The salary they receive will also be significantly higher than during the Ausbildung period.

RN-Nurse is a professional career program in Germany for nurses. At the beginning, participants will work as nursing assistants to receive training in German-standard nursing practices while continuing their German language studies up to level B2. After passing the nursing competency assessment and the German language examination at level B2, participants will be appointed as permanent nurses (registered nurses) in Germany and may pursue a career there for as long as they wish. RN-Nurse placements may be in hospitals, care homes, clinics, or other healthcare facilities, depending on the company’s needs.

Upon arrival in Germany, you will start working as a nursing assistant. This position is intended to help participants adapt and understand the German-standard nursing system while continuing German language studies at level B2. After several months, you will take the nursing competency assessment as well as the German language examination at level B2, with the schedule determined by the company.

Skilled Worker is an opportunity to pursue a professional career in Germany. Participants will work directly as permanent, full-time employees. This allows them to work in Germany for as long as they wish, even until retirement. To be eligible for the Skilled Worker program, participants must undergo the Anerkennung process. Anerkennung is the recognition and equivalency of an educational qualification issued by an Indonesian educational institution so that it can be officially recognized by the German government through the ZAB process.
