SHORTENING THE TRAINING PERIOD
—THAT'S HOW FAST IT CAN HAPPEN
In Germany, shortened apprenticeships (shortened training programs) are a way to reduce the duration of an apprenticeship if certain requirements are met.
When things need to move quickly
A shortened apprenticeship term may be granted if the average grade on the final transcript at the end of the second year of training is 1.9 or lower.
Trainees must apply for the shortened term themselves.
This applies only to apprenticeship programs in which the option of a shortened term is available.
Training as a ticket to the world of work
Graduation?
For an average grade of 1.0-1.9 for the annual vocational school report (1st to 3rd year of apprenticeship) you will receive a €100 bonus and from 2.0 to 2.9 a €50 bonus
There are also fuel vouchers for passing the final exam
Overall Grade 1: 6 x 50€ gas vouchers
Overall Grade 2: 4 x 50€ gas vouchers
Overall Grade 3: 2 x 50€ gas vouchers
