German B1 and B2 for an Ausbildung place
Vocational training in Germany is taught in German, tested in German, and the Berufsschule will not slow down for you. Employers usually ask for B1 as a minimum and B2 for anything customer-facing or safety-critical, and the vocational training visa route expects the same. The certificate is the ticket to the interview.
Sound familiar?
- Applications get rejected at the language line before anyone reads your CV.
- Interview German and exam German are different skills — you need both.
- You are preparing while working or studying, so a fixed-schedule course is out.
- The Schreiben module is heavily weighted and rarely practised properly.
How we help
B1 and B2 side by side
Start at B1, confirm you pass comfortably, then move to B2 if your target employer needs it — both are included.
Writing marked against the real criteria
Formal emails, complaints and applications, graded on task fulfilment, coherence, range and accuracy, with your own errors quoted back to you.
Find the module that is holding you back
Every submission gives you a percentage per module, so the remaining study time goes where it actually changes the result.
Timed practice that mirrors test day
Each mock is a full sitting: same sections, same order, same clock — stamped server-side, so a reload will not buy you extra minutes.
Pick your level
Five complete mocks per level, sat online on the official clock and scored the moment you submit. One mock at every level is free. One level is €29. All 40 mocks, every level, are €45 — €1.12 per exam.
Frequently asked questions
+What German level do I need for an Ausbildung?
B1 is the common minimum and B2 is expected in healthcare, care work and customer-facing trades. Individual employers and chambers can set their own bar, so check the vacancy text.
+Does the Ausbildung visa require a certificate?
The vocational training residence permit generally requires proof of sufficient German for the programme — usually B1 or B2 from a recognised test centre — unless the training provider certifies your level.
+Can I prepare in three months?
If you are already close to the level, yes. Five full mock exams spread over 8–12 weeks, with review of every mistake, is a realistic plan alongside a job.
