Overview of our training programme
Your first step into a career in care
Would you like to work with people but are still unsure which area to choose? Would you also like to gain your secondary school leaving certificate through an apprenticeship? If so, the two-year care assistant apprenticeship might be just the thing for you. Both the classroom-based content and the practical training provide an insight into this wide-ranging field of work.
Theoretical Training
During your training, you will learn about providing nursing and domestic care for children, adults and the elderly, as well as how to look after them. Afterwards, you can decide where you would like to work. Nursing assistants are employed across all areas and age groups within the field of nursing, care and support for people. Due to this high demand, there is a wide range of job opportunities available to you! After completing your training, you have the option of shortening the three-year generalist training programme by one year.

There are four ways in which you can shorten the training programme by one year
1. Possibility:
You have successfully completed a two-year vocational school – nutrition, home economics and care (or similar vocational training).
2. Possibility:
You have at least a secondary school leaving certificate I – Hauptschulabschluss (or equivalent level of education) AND
have worked full-time as a care assistant for one year.
OR
have completed one year full-time as part of the Federal Voluntary Service in the care-related sector.
OR
have worked for at least three years as a volunteer in the care service of the civil protection organisation.
3. Possibility:

4. Possibility:
