Master Sales & Retail with German Vocational Training

Sales & Retail Ausbildung is German vocational training. In the dual form you train at a company most of the week and attend a vocational school one to two days. In-company training usually takes two to three years.

Your employer pays a monthly training salary that must rise at least once a year; the amount depends on the occupation, the region and the employer. Among the 3,826 Sales & Retail apprenticeship listings that state first-year pay, the median is €1,100 a month.

You need a training contract with a German employer. From outside the EU you also need a residence permit for training (Residence Act § 16a), which most people apply for as a visa before they travel. For in-company training, the employer decides which school certificate it needs; § 16a names none.

Today the cities with the most Sales & Retail Ausbildung listings on GoAusbildung are München, Berlin, Hamburg, Köln, Düsseldorf.
