When people think about further studies abroad, the first thing that comes to mind is usually university. But did you know there’s another pathway that might be even more rewarding, especially if you’re looking for a practical, hands-on career?
Introducing Dual Vocational Training (DVT) in Germany - a unique study-and-work programme where 70% of your training is done in the company and 30% is to attend classes at a vocational school. You train directly in industries like hotel management, culinary arts, restaurant management, or nursing while gaining valuable on-the-job experience.
Here’s what makes DVT stand out:
✅ Industry-relevant training- learn directly from professionals in the field
✅ Earn while you learn- receive a monthly allowance of around €1,000 during your training
✅ Minimal cost- no tuition fees, just living expenses
✅ Future in Germany- a clear pathway for those who want to live, work, and even apply for PR in Germany
Many parents think vocational training is only for students who “cannot study well.” That’s a myth. In fact, DVT is one of the smartest investments: you gain a qualification that’s recognised across Europe, practical skills employers want, and income from the very start.
If your goal is to build a career in Germany without being weighed down by high education costs, DVT could be your perfect fit.
