6 things you need to know for a reputable vocational study abroad trip to Germany

FIND A COMPANY/CENTER YOU TRUST

Finding a company or center that suits your needs and gives you a certain level of trust is the first thing you need to do.

This is not a difficult problem because there are many companies/centers that have affirmed their reputation in the market. You can rely on the following signs:

• Infrastructure and facilities conditions
• History formation
• Achievements
• Business Partners in Germany
• Teaching staff
• German language teaching and certification program

SHB's advice is that you should research centers/companies at least 3 months before making a final decision. This period of time is enough for you to research and filter out suitable centers, then take the time to visit and consult directly at the center. This is when you can most realistically feel your future learning environment and the working style of a center, from which to make objective comparisons and make the most accurate decision.

REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS FOR PARTICIPATION

During the consultation process, the center will provide a clear roadmap as well as specific requirements and conditions, so that you can clearly understand what to prepare when participating in the program. Issues you need to pay attention to regarding requirements and conditions such as age, background, health, high school diploma, required German language level, Contract with German Enterprise, Visa, financial proof account, total time in Vietnam as well as detailed time of each stage... If there are things you do not understand, do not hesitate to ask the study abroad center directly.

Besides, you also need to ask carefully about the support that the center provides for you during your study in Vietnam and Germany. Because in reality, there have been many cases where the center "abandoned the child" after you arrived in Germany. Being sponsored by the center will help you adapt more easily during the first time in Germany and resolve unnecessary risks during your study time here.

LEARN GERMAN

As mentioned above, the alleged “fraud” of SHB occurred when students were not capable of learning German. However, German is a mandatory requirement when you choose to study vocational training in Germany. Currently, the German Government requires B1 level for most of the occupations in this program,

To study and achieve German B1 certificate, we need to determine that this is a factor coming from 2 sides: THE LEARNER and THE TEACHER.

• For students: If you are not serious, diligent and lack motivation, no matter how good the center is, you will still fail to learn German.

• Towards the center: There are quite a few German language centers that offer attractive commitments such as “guaranteed pass”, “deposit for full package”, “free retake”. But the core of the center does not have a foundation in terms of training teachers, cannot prove actual training results and worse, does not closely monitor the learning process of students,… then when will you get B1?

If you have enough determination and diligence, as well as choose the right reputable center, conquering German B1 will not be too difficult.

LABOR CONTRACT WITH GERMAN ENTERPRISES

The employment contract with a German enterprise is an issue that is rarely mentioned when you learn about the vocational study abroad program. This is an important condition along with the B1 German certificate so that you can easily apply for a vocational study visa. When you have an employment contract with a German enterprise, you will not only know clearly the benefits you receive when studying and working in Germany, but also ensure that you do not need to prove any financial resources before flying.

APPLYING FOR VOCATIONAL STUDY VISA IN GERMANY

If you are a student from a non-EU and non-EEA country, you must obtain a German vocational training visa. Usually, the centers will be the ones to support and guide you to complete the visa application procedures. However, you still have to ask the center for details about this issue to be more sure!

INTERNATIONAL GERMAN LANGUAGE CERTIFICATE B1

Choosing a center that is a direct organizer of the B1 International German language certificate exam also gives you an advantage in your journey to study vocational training in Germany. You will receive a suitable curriculum, participate in practical review classes, do not waste time searching for an exam center and have your ability determined before taking the exam, thereby saving on exam costs, etc.
